What blows my mind is that for everything that we do, want, wish, or whatever is that the first rule of thumb is to GET IT IN WRITING. If it isn't in writing it's all heresay. Therefore if Michael Schiavo's statements that Terri's wish would have been not to live as she is, and it was never put into writing in a living will, then his statements are purely HERESAY. And as we all know HERESAY never holds up in court. I absolutely cannot for the life of me see why there is any doubts. WTF
His friggin' wedding vows are apparently hearsay as well...but he's more determined to stick to Terri's alleged "death wish" than he is to "in sickness and in health."
There is apparently a law in Florida that permitted Michael Schiavo to swear in court that Terri told him her wishes even if she didn't put it in writing. The law has been appealed up the line by others in the same position as the Schindler family. Even if he relinquished guardianship of her, her parents would not be able to get the judgement that was entered nullified.
Horrible law. It needs to be repealed.
