You - and others with your opinion are completely missing the point! There seems to be overwhelming evidence that Michael Shiavo is LYING. He has another girlfriend now - it would be very AWKWARD if she were to ever come out of her state any tiny bit. He has a conflict of interest here and as we try to take every precaution to accused criminals before we sentence them to death - we owe Terri that same right. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
"WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND? [Michael's conflict of interest?]
We've become a nation of Scribes and Pharisees, keeping the letter of the law, but not the meaning.
Why would it be awkward for Schiavo if his wife improved? He could always divorce her and turn guardianship over to the parents. I don't know why he hasn't done this. Maybe he has financial motives. But he may also have dug in his heels because he thinks he's right.
This is a tragic, messy and unfortunate case all around. But I get the impression that some posters who are the most emotionally overwrought and adamant in their opinions have the least experience with situations like this in their own lives. If I'm wrong about this, please correct me.
