Allowing for aging, it struck me that she looks much more responsive in the picture in the Florida paper early on with her husband lovingly hovering over her than she does after all these years of whatever treatment or non-treatment she has received.
I don't know what was done in California, but considered the possibility that it was experimental surgery which may have worsened her condition because something could have gone awry, and that affected subsequent decisions . . .
The opposition is throwing brickbats at the Schindlers for resorting to professionals whose credentials have been called into question. What about the credentials of the person(s) who performed the procedure in California?
So now you're angry at Michael Schiavo for trying to do something? It was experimental. When you're that far gone, you'll try anything. My brother had Cancer and went to an experimental place in Texas because there was a small chance it would help him. It made him worse. His condition worsened and he died a little while later. So, what's your point? You can't have it both ways. You can't say, he didn't do everything and then say what he did was wrong. At her stage, it's mostly a crapshoot. But we do it because there's a chance. But like my Brother, he knew when there was no chance left and was left to die with dignity. But unlike Ms. Schiavo, he wasn't at the mercy of people who wouldn't allow him to make those choices. You'll say, that Terri's will to live shows. I'm saying she doesn't know any better because she has no cognitive reasoning. We'll never agree on that, I guess.
