Wow! Carl Levin is Michael Schiavo's doctor???
Michael Schaivo should thank his lucky stars that I or someone like me is not Terri's father or brother.
That is a great cartoon.
Dude, that is priceless. Take a C-Span break ;)
LOL!
Who can "order" an autopsy on Terri Shaivo after she passes? If there is proof that she was not in a persistent vegetative state or proof that her husband caused her "heart attack," how about her husband being charged with murder?
So why on Earth does he refuse to allow CFS to take custody of Terri? What's his payoff?
My thoughts as well.
If she were my daughter - this mom would be going after someone with a fire arm. I honestly don't know whether my first target would be those guarding her door or M Schiavo. Hard call.
Autopsy would prove nothing. There would be no way to measure brain activity if she is dead and that would have been the only thing that could have saved her.
I think this is the point - Michael Shiavo is not looking for a payoff. Didn't somebody offer him a million bucks to sign over custody to Teri's parents? I think this guy is getting a really bum rap. The only reason he'd have for doing what he's doing is because he knows Teri isn't going to recover and that she would not have wanted to "live" this way indefinitely.
Come on people, she's been like this for fifteen years. She's just running on brain stem.
When Terri Schiavo dies, as her husband has willed that she should, I say let every bell in the land toll. For it will toll not only for Terri, but for the United States Constitution, which acknowledges that our right to life is determined by a higher power.
The Empire Journal's lead article says Gov Bush expected in Pinellas Park at 12 EST. Is he there yet? Did he bring troops? (Copyright dispute prohibits posting from TEJ.)
Michael Schaivo will get what's coming to him. Surely later but perhaps sooner.
Seems the only answer that explains all of his actions. She really did say to him, if I'm in that situation pull the plug.
Its also I'm sure why he hasn't divorced her to remarry his girlfriend. He doesn't want to give up the legal guardianship.
He bought a large life insurance policy from his girl friend. She worked for an insurance company when they met. Terri also has a $1 million settlement in a trust fund. He makes twice as much if she dies.
He joins a long list of wife killers.
