"I am saying that in the end I do not wish to have someone other than my husband making decisions for me."

Is he Terri's "husband" since he is engaged to another woman since 1996 and has two children with her?

If your husband did that to you, would you still want him as your guardian?

If your husband's anger is documented, if you have fractures found which fit abuse cases, if there is high suspicion of your husband, and yet the claims of your abuse are not investigated, would you still want him making your decisions?

If your husband gets a 1 million dollar malpractice suit, and then does not spend it on your care, would you still want your husband to be making decisions for you?

If your husband refused your parents and friends visits, if he kept you inside your room for years, without allowing you to even be in the sunshine just for the last 3-5 years...would you want your husband making your decisions?

These are all good points-that argue that Michael Schiavo should be arrested and charged with attempted murder.

They do not argue that the legal presumption that the spouse is the correct decision maker in cases like this should be overturned.

Why do you suppose the State of Florida has not arrested and charged Michael Schiavo?

Great presentation of the facts and the questions being answered by Congress.

I have commented before, but it is worth repeating. There are some very decent Dems along with resolute Republicans performing their Constitutional duty to protect Terri's individual rights to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

thank you,

You know--the husband claims that she is a vegetable--which would mean that she doesn't have a clue about what is going on--and if that is true, then she isn't bothered by her parents and brother and sister wanting to be with her and help her--so he has no reason to think that TERRI IS UPSET--

The only way that her husband can claim that this is "distressing to Terri" that she is being kept alive against her wishes, would be if she IS aware of it--and if she IS aware of it, then she isn't a vegetable so therefore, he has no right to kill someone that is cognizant of what is going on---

Case closed
