Terry will not be starved to death. Her nutrition and hydration will be taken away.

Huh, Mikie? Does NOT compute!

I don't know. I couldn't stomach to watch it, although I think the abc-WEST COAST feed is coming up in 5 minutes. Its just showing a test pattern right now while those stations show their local news. I think I'll try to watch it for the laughs of Michael's body language every time he lies.

If they already DID have the schindlers on recently when no one was paying attention to this issue, then it is not fair to the schindlers now that it is red-hot. Michaels main point it seems was for everyone in the country to try to affect the florida legislature in HIS favor! (sick)

I knew I couldnt try to contact Gibbs until after business hours, and then I read here that they dont answer their phones after 5pm, and gave out no email.

I will say, trying to describe what he got the money for, and then what happened to the people he sued is hilarious.

It was a malpractice suit. The doctor blamed in that suit was eventually cleared of all charges. The company paying the award money no longer exists. Michael had no control over much of Terri's award money. Michael took Terri to CALIFORNIA for a new treatment. After it did not produce significant results, Michael and Terri returned to FLA. Where they were found by FELOS. FELOS was on the BOD of the HOSPICE. They get TERRI transferred to the hospice, they get a doctor to state she is PVS, FELOS talks to the JUDGE, the JUDGE OK's MICHAEL controlling the AWARD MONEY, Michael forces her parents OUT OF AND AWAY from TERRI with locked doors and armed guards and Judge's ORDERS. FELOS gets paid because MICHAEL can now spend TERRI's REHAB MONEY, to go to court to have TERRI KILLED, where GREER is the judge who is TERRI's appointed guardian(appointed by Judge Greer), who as guardian gives Michael permission to spend MORE FUNDS every time they fail to KILL TERRI.

FELOS is up to his *ss in sh*t with the US DEPT of HEALTH and HUMAN SERVICES for scamming MEDICARE/MEDICAID of over $14 million bucks, by having over 150 patients incorrectly diagnosed as "terminally ill" and placed in the SUNCOAST HOSPICE, so they could be put on MEDICARE/MEDICAID payments. They may have killed these patients as well.

Virtually everything you Terri supporters have said on this thread about her medical care, her husband, his lawyer, the judge, the courts, absolutely everything has been twisted and turned into lies to further your cause celebre. I don't think I've ever seen so many lies in one thread. You guys have it down to a fine art. May Michael soon be able to see his wife laid to rest, so that he will no longer suffer the slings and arrows of insufferable people who care really only about themselves, because it's all about you, isn't it.

I have just recently began to follow this sad story.

Perhaps it would be best if you educate yourself on the actual facts, in that case.

He does not seem to have any motives other than following what he believes were his wifes wishes.

Perhaps it would be best if you educate yourself on the actual facts, in that case.

The problem with HINO Schiavo might be Scientology.

Terri had spent $80 to have her hair dyed blond. To please Michael. To add spice to their life.

Michael was furious. Because they didn't have enough money (for the KING, Michael the KING) because Michael couldn't even keep a job working as a BUSBOY in a restaurant. Because Michael was supposed to be THE MAN and he wasn't/isn't.

His TEMPER kept flaring and he would get fired. You, I am sure, have seen the type. BLAME everyone else for their inabilities. Hit women, kill cats, kill their parents.

Michael did. Had the cats and parents treated the exact same way. Better actually than he wants to treat TERRI right now. At least the cats and her parents didn't have to suffer as long.

Schiavo Case Judge Greer Could Be Removed From Office By Executive Order Of Gov. Bush

“I don’t want anyone trying to feed that girl” [VIDEO], Greer thundered from the bench in 2001. Greer’s statement, “the law of the case is that she is going to die”, is part of the court record.

THE TERRI SCHIAVO INFORMATION PAGE

TERRI COMMUNICATES/MICHAEL SCHAIVO INCONSISTENT TESTIMONY

WHAT DO THE DOCTORS SAY?

"We, and others I know, have treated many patients worse than Terri and have seen them regain independence and dignity," Hammesfahr said. "There are many approaches that would help Terri Schiavo," Dr. Hammesfahr explained. "I know, because I had the opportunity to personally examine her, her medical records, and her X-rays." "It is time to help Terri, instead of just warehousing her," he added. "She would have benefited from treatment years ago, but it is not too late to start now." "The patient is not in a coma," concluded Hammesfahr said after observing Terri. "She responds to specific people best. She tries to please others by doing activities for which she gets verbal praise." He says "Terri's eyes clearly fixate on her family and she tries to follow the simple commands her parents give her. She looks at you, she can follow commands," Hammesfahr said.

Thank you. Ignore my original answer to my own question. I am tired. Becoming persistently vegetative for the next six hours.

Observations: Mikey looked zoned out to me. Is this what possession looks like?

That's how Scientologists look.

There once was an husband named Schiavo
Who wanted to help his first wife go
For the second wife it would be best
If in the medicine chest
All the drugs were replaced with placebos

I'll contact ABC and tell them since they just had Michael Schiavo on Nightline, it would be fair if they have the Schindlers on JUST BEFORE CONGRESS votes, as well.

Pretty tricky of ABC, Michael and Felos if you ask me.

That is not my contention I was mearly saying that it could be what see wanted. Not actually being starved to death but being killed in some manner maybe a bit more humane.

You might want to search for some info on the time within the past few years, that someone who was talking to her on the phone (which was held to her ear) -- told her that the plan was to kill her. She visibly started and tried to rise from her bed. Her father picked up the phone at that point and asked the speaker what he had said to her.

As was said today in the FL hearing when the bill was passed through committee: "I would hope you would CHOOSE LIFE."

It truly would be best if she could go home and be taken care of by her parents.

This is what her parents want.

I'm not on my machine (it has the link) but I know the article. It was by WorldNetDaily News and I think it was titled something like "Why Terri Should Live" Or Wants To Live".

Thank God this has finally gotten the media attention it deserves.
The main point is a legal one. There is NO WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION, NO LIVING WILL AND NO HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY.
In the absence of these, it is murder pure and simple. Allowing a person with a personal motive to impose his will on a person who cannot speak for herself.
One cannot call this Euthanasia (good death). We wouldn't do this to a beloved family pet. But it is a slippery slope, and a Michael Schiavo victory will be a tragic blow against those of us who believe euthanasia is murder.
I have one thing to say about the Hospice movement and Hospice care in general. It is a wonderful movement that has brought comfort, care, and peace to those who are in the process of dying and their families. This is not the case with Terri.She is not dying, she is alive.
