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."
Sara Green Mele's complete affidavit is available online at: http://www.earnedmedia.org/mele.htm

And Greer is unable to view his own reflection in the mirror. How do you know that? Being sufficiently visually impaired as to be unable to drive does not imply that someone is 'blind as a bat'. No reason to play 'telephone' regarding Greer's visual acuity or lack thereof.

I watched it at least ten times and didn't catch that. (Best movie I've seen all week.) How many times did you watch it?

Terri doesn't have a flat EEG. She does vocalize. Ever see a dead body do that? She was speaking a few words until her estranged husband subjected her sensory depravation and other abuses. She was also being spoon fed.

I caught it on the second go-round, but once I noticed it, I admit to enjoying watching it at least a dozen more times!

And Greer is unable to view his own reflection in the mirror. Would such an inability be the result of insufficient visual acuity, or something else? Would other people be able to see the reflection?
