I have visited that web site, Hildy. Thanks for the ping.
Without stating my opinion about this matter, what is unfortunate to see is how many opinions are being offered by people who haven't paid attention to some of the nitty gritty facts.
I've seen freepers espouse that Michael is after the insurance money. And yet according to court papers, Michael formally offered to divest himself entirely of his financial interests in the guardianship estate.
Freepers have said that Terri has not been seen by a neurologist. That's patently untrue.
It's been stated she did not have a CAT scan. That's patently untrue. She's had dozens.
It's been stated that Michael refused to let a priest visit her. That's patently untrue. Some of them have given interviews after their visit with Terri and just yesterday she was given last rites.
Terri's sister stated on CNN last night that they don't even know if Terri had a heart attack. Court documentation by numerous doctors provides evidence that Terri did have a heart attack. Her sister denied that Terri had bulimia but that is the very basis under which Michael won a malpractice suit.
Court testimony provided by members of the Schindler family included very personal statements about their desire and intention to ensure that Theresa remain alive . . . at any and all costs. Nearly gruesome examples were given, eliciting agreement by family members that in the event Theresa should contract diabetes and subsequent gangrene in each of her limbs, they would agree to amputate each limb and would then, were she to be diagnosed with heart disease, perform open-heart surgery. Within the testimony, as part of the hypothetical presented, Schindler family members stated that even if Theresa had told them of her intention to have artificial nutrition withdrawn, they would not do it.
This is a deplorable situation that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. And it's been upsetting to see absolute lies stated as fact, over and over again on FR. If any good can come of this, it is that people will think more carefully about signing Living Wills and making their intentions clear.
Who said that? Of course she's had CT scans, which are useless in this case. She needs an MRI or PET.
"It's been stated she did not have a CAT scan. That's patently untrue. She's had dozens. "
Really now Peach, to say that this is patently untrue could be a bit of misinformation upon your own part, considering that I corrected what I said.
Primary colors do seem to be in full exhibit.
LOL
Right.
Thanks for that.
It is unfortunate when lies get spread as facts, and I just contributed to the problem by raising the money myself.
However, how can this man possibly love her at all? He shows not even one iota of a sign that he has a heart in his disgusting body. He will burn in hell, hopefully in the hottest part, for his sick game.
If he gets assaulted or killed by someone on Earth, too bad for him. But, he will deserve it.
The fact of the matter is, there is no proof she told Michael she wanted to die. Therefore, the presumption is life.
yes. Probably the only positive outcome of this tragic story. With the current level of national publicity (vis this case), millions are probably giving Living Wills long overdue attention.
