After going more than eight days without food and water, starving Terri Schiavo looks "beautiful," the attorney for her husband, who appears to have won the battle to force her death, told reporters on Saturday.

"She looked beautiful," attorney George Felos said, emerging from a visit to her room. He claimed that Terri was "resting comfortably."

"In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo, I have never seen such a look of peace and beauty upon her," he insisted. Felos's comments were sharply at odds with accounts from her family and their lawyers, who say her eyes are sunken, her skin is flaking and that she's bleeding from the eyes and mouth.

"It's like someone who is coming out of a bunker in Auschwitz," Terri's sister, Suzanne Vitadamo, told reporters Saturday.

"This is heinous what's happening, absolutely heinous - this is absolutely barbaric," her brother Bobby Schindler complained. "If she is in fact dying so peacefully and easily, why not allow a camera in there to videotape it?" he said.

Further belying Mr. Felos' claims that Terri is "resting comfortably," lawyers for her family say nurses have begun to administer morphine to ease the intense pain.

THE LIES OF GEORGE FELOS

"She is calm," said Felos. "She is peaceful. She is resting comfortably. Her lips are not chapped. They're not bleeding. Her skin's not peeling."

"She looked beautiful," said Felos. "In all the years I've seen Mrs. Schiavo, I've never seen such a look of peace and beauty upon her."

So as we're approaching Easter, I think Terri would want all of us to reflect on the impermanence of life and ask ourselves the questions, 'What's the purpose of my life and how can I best fulfill that and how can I be of service to others?' One of the things that may come out of this is a period of inward reflection after all this outer attention."
