Unless Michael Doesn't Want to Know What She Thinks. If Michael Schiavo is so sure that Terri wants to die why does he refuse to give her speech therapy?
Over and over Terri Schindler Schiavo's parents have asked that Terri be given speech therapy. Terri's parents filed an emergency motion for immediate therapy in October of 2003, asking for 8 weeks of speech and swallow therapy. Michael Schiavo objected and the court sided with him.
In the light of Sarah Scantlin's recovery of her speech after 20 years, why won't Michael Schivo reconsider?
Speech Language Pathologist, Sara Green Mele, M.S. CCC-SLP, swore under oath,
"It is my judgment based on my training and clinical experience working with patients similar to Terri that she would, within a reasonable degree of clinical probability, be able to improve her ability to interact with her environment, communicate with others, and control her environment if she were given appropriate therapy and training as outlined above. These recommendations, in my opinion would greatly improve Terri's quality of life."

Thanks.Posting here will be a lot of fun and educational. I am glad to find a place for conservatives. Rushy
I'm afraid that if I were Terri's father and she was forcibly starved to death the way these demons want to do to her, there would be one new angel in heaven, and 2 new devils in hell.
Both Mike and Greer would be pushing up daisies within hours.
right.....ask Scott Peterson!! Thankfully God took care of exposing Scott Peterson's sins!
speech therapy? The woman can't even swallow food.
The panel of doctors, chosen by both sides and the court, to report to the GAL say she is in a PVS. But I guess you know better.
If you have followed the Terri case for long, you would know that the Court was STACKED AGAINST Terri when it came to Doctors.
There are at least a DOZEN Doctors who TOTALLY DISAGREE with a PVS diagnosis. And anyone who plays the videos of Terri can:
(1) SEE that if they have their EYES OPEN,
(2) HEAR that if they have their EARS OPEN, and
(3) UNDERSTAND and KNOW that if they have their MIND OPEN!
Two of the doctors on the panel you disregard were chosen by Terri's parents.
The real question is whether there is ANYONE you would believe if they told you Terri is in a PVS. I'm guessing the answer to that question is no.
