Per Fox News...
I was asking Mo1 since he/she made the assertion. ;-)
"Well, your's is a whole new gambit"
Not my gambit, just passing along the news article. It is the answer to the question many have as to why hubby doesn't just divorce her.
I think that parents who would, according to the article which says the parents stated such in court documents, would do such weird too.
And if you took the time to look thru them yourself you would see this case stinks to high heaven.
Freepers lead the way in getting the truth out there about this case and most of us hope this type of case will not happen again.
This is not a right to die case- this is a right to kill case. BTW- I have spent at least three years following this case , and you?
How far would they go? Check out this article. It may give you some insight as to where MS is coming from?

Because of all of the proof in this case that Terri is not dying, not PVS and was put into this condition by strange circumstances, an activist judge, a shady lawyer and a husband who benefits from her death- which have not been addressed in court while Terri has her own representation.
"But don't you really think this would be the exception rather than the rule?"
With litigation at the levels we see in this country, exceptions become the rule fairly quickly - lawyers get paid when things go to court.
Expect more health care dollars to be siphoned off to handle all of this.
"access to things like court documents ....And if you took the time to look thru them yourself you would see this case stinks to high heaven."
You ASSume I haven't looked. There are a great many documents here http://abstractappeal.com/schiavo/infopage.html#timeline
to which I have availed myself as well as information here
http://www.hospicepatients.org/dr-walker-t-schiavo-bone-scan-deposition.txt which I have also perused.
I found these two articles particularly interesting.

Accordingly I've done a great deal of research on medical terms, diagnosis, and treatments for which I am by no means an expert rather deferring to those who are.
Have I missed something? If you have additional information I'd be glad to look.
;-)
Not to be picky, but it's in the comments section and written by....
— Wesley J. Smith is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and an attorney and consultant for the International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. His revised and updated Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope From Assisted Suicide to Legalized Murder was recently published by Spence Publishing.
While Mr. Smith certainly has credentials, he's hardly an objective source?
Which may or may not reflect the views of NRO?
"Because of all of the proof in this case that Terri is not dying,"
If you THINK about it, everyone is dying. She is PVS according to some experts.
That road goes both ways In families where there is an inheritance waiting in the wings upon a death, rather than see that money/property go to cover the cost of the illness via direct or medicare/medicaid, a family member can suddenly remember that he had a conversation in which the patient professed the turn-off-life-support for himself, find a Judge Greer, and voila!! That is the slippery slope. All I am saying is this particular case deserves a fair hearing before all is said and done. Whatever the outcome, it should behoove all of us to set up a living will and keep it current.
That statement is so out there I can not even comment upon it.
Where to start, that is the real question.
But you see, Doctors, lawyers, medical staff, Governor Jeb Bush, President George Bush, the GOP leadership ,our GOP representatives, Many in the Florida legislature,half of the Dems who were there last night,bunches of conservative writers and news people and tens of millions of people world wide disagree with your research posted here.
Does that tell you that you have missed something a long the way?
Let me guess, you're getting your information from courts records of the insurance case?
I have no doubt he was such a loving husband then
"That statement is so out there I can not even comment upon it."
But you know it's a correct statement. Many are speechless when confronted with reality.
