As long as her family pays to keep feeding her why would anyone object to keeping her alive?
Well, Michael R. Schiavo, a popular Clearwater nurse, objects. Is anyone surprised at this man's popularity among his neighbors? In an earlier generation, people would have shunned him.
As far as the cost of the feeding tube, there is no cost per se so long as the tube is washed out with clear water after each administration of a nutrititional supplement given two or three times a day.
Why does he object? It's my understanding that her parents have told him to keep all monies from the settlement, and are willing to accept full responsibility for her care.
"Well, Michael R. Schiavo, a popular Clearwater nurse, objects."
I'm sorry, I know this has probably been answered many times, but I don't understand since the parents have said they want to take her home, and take care of her why the husband objects. Seems that gets him off the hook, and everyone is satisfied (well obviously MS isn't----but has he said why?)
I know that there is very little open-mindedness left on this topic, but the answer to your question is to let this poor maimed woman go home. Is there no end to what others can do to continue her long-suffering for ideological 'points'? Only those with a narrow definition of 'life', no understanding of the mercy of God and willing to continue their narrow conception of 'life' at any cost to the person involved would want this poor woman to continue to suffer.
There, I finally said it. This whole 'show' is a travesty.
