Terri Schiavo's parents ask judge to let her divorce husband

My question was, do YOU suggest the Schindlers just give up.

They have requested it before, but the request was ignored.

See reply #536 where Poohbah addresses your comment.

"They've used quack medicine extensively--which, BTW, really hurts you when it comes up in court."

So true. One only needs to read the transcript of the 2002 trial with the 6 doctors to see Greer had no choice in that ruling, either.

Her personal Dr said he sees her do the things in the video even when she's alone in the room.

The 2 docs her parents chose were simply not credible. I wont even get started on Hammesfahr, who I think is an outright liar - though he was a lot more careful about what he said on the stand than he is is interviews and his "report". But the poor Dr Maxwell... sounded so nice, but clueless about coma and PVS, having them confused and not knowing what either truly meant.

I wouldn't trust her husband's doc, Cranford without double-checking, but the other 2 - especially the court assigned one, were just so credible and sensible. No unbiased jury would have found any differently than Greer did.

The Schindlers' lawyers had to know how bad it would look to objective observers that these 2 were the best they could find.

Are you hoping that Terri can somehow be saved or do you think the feeding tube should be removed?

On or around that same day, he was also publicly asking people for money:

Good pickup. Keep in mind, however, that the funds that are set aside for her care (should they win) may be in a lockbox trust; that's how I'd donate even if I trusted the folks. Second, he may want the money because every dollar they solicit for the legal fight is a dollar that doesn't have to come from treatment funds, and he knows Michael Schiavo has spent all the therapy money on lawyers.
