Who has been caring for her all these years?

Yes, Michael has been her primary visitor and has arranged care for her, but did not make any determination about the feeding tube. The Court did that.

You mean Michael Schiavo didn't hire a lawyer to petition the court.

Yes, once the Court indicated that it would find that both the husband and the parents might have a conflict of interest and would be precluded from making the ultimate decision, Michael petitioned the Court on May 11, 1998 to act as Terri's surrogate and determine her wishes regarding being maintained artificially.

The Court did that. Michael was one of five persons testifying regarding Terri's comments on not wishing to be artificially maintained. That's the extent of Michael's involvement in the 'feeding tube decision.'

Since when does the court have jurisdiction over human life? Oh, I forgot. Abortion. This is the same thing and if you look at all the facts it stinks to high heaven. No matter how you slice it, dice it, mince it, chop it, or sautee it. It stinks like three day old fish.

It would've been simpler to for Michael Schiavo to walk away. After all, he's already begun another life with another woman and kids. So why even continue this destructive course? Terri's wishes are pure conjecture and you know it. It's the same as abortion. The mother says yes, but the baby says no. And yet is has no voice.

Once again, we're back to activists courts determining the value of life no matter how you slice it, dice it, mince it, chop it or sautee it. It's that simple. Murder by the Schiavo and the courts.

Why do you want her to die so vehemently? You're arguing for her death. Plain and simple. It doesn't make sense. How would you feel if it were your child and there was a slight possiblity of hope?

From your posts, it appears you're only getting one side of the picture.
