What Michael Schiavo said about crushing her trachea is not true. He could certainly have choked Terri to the point of unconsciousness without doing that. [See http://www.datenschlag.org/howto/atem/english/DiM89.html]. I myself have been nearly knocked out in this manner.

It seems suspicious too, that he does not want to take a lie detector test. [http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0310/27/lkl.00.html]

"SCHIAVO: The Schindlers made accusations that I strangled Terri. It confuses me, because before any of this came to light, don't you think the doctors at solitary, when it first happened, would notice marks around her neck? And if I strangled her to the point of unconsciousness, her trachea would have been crushed."

"I remember at the time of the interview when Michael gave this answer, it sent cold chills up my back. This is not the kind of answer that a person falsely accused of a crime gives. This is the kind of answer that person looking for an alibi gives."

Excellent. You took the words right out of my mouth. While reading the first para above, I was thinking exactly what you were thinking. That is a scripted ready-made answer for an alibi.

Clinical studies evaluating the usefulness of PET (positron emission tomography) have confirmed the absence of consciousness in these patients by conclusively demonstrating levels of oxygen and glucose metabolism in the cerebral cortex consistent with deep levels of coma, and other forms of deep unconsciousness.

Do you think Terri should get a PET scan, to clarify what state she is in? It does seem like it would clarify matters. She has not had such a scan.

Old news -- whatever the "more time" was, it has expired. She is not getting more time now.

I'm not a doctor, but I do think a PET scan might have been a good idea. I also don't know better than Mr. Shiavo what Mrs. Schiavo would have wanted.
