Michael Schiavo Plans to Cremate Terri
Michael Schiavo has taken steps that will prevent investigators from examining Terri Schiavo's body for evidence of abuse after she dies – a suspicion her family has repeatedly raised as her death grows more imminent.
Schiavo's attorney George Felos told the Washington Post on Friday that Terri will be cremated and buried in a plot owned by Michael's family in Pennsylvania.
Terri's parents had filed a request with the court to block the cremation plans, saying it would violate the religious beliefs of their daughter, who was a practicing a Catholic.
But as with every other motion filed in the case on behalf of Bob and Mary Schindler, the Florida courts have rejected the request.
A 1991 bone scan performed on Terri Schiavo showed unexplained injuries to her vertebrae and legs.
Terri's brother, Bobby Schindler, told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" on Thursday that a doctor has testified that she might have been strangled before she was found unconscious in her home in February 1990.
huh?
We are all pulling for that to happen to you!
"Giving up her maiden name, just like all women who marry."
Not all by any means. My wife still uses her maiden name as her last name. I see no problem with that. It is her name. Lots of women opt to do that these days, especially women in professions.
If Terri said the things alleged, it's hearsay. IMHO, it's more likely make-it-up-say, since none of the three witness' stories corroborated each other. Rather, each told of a different situation in which Terri had supposedly made her wishes known. Judge Greer claims that the fact Terri made her wish known on so many different occasions makes them more certain. I think it makes it more obvious that the Schiavos wanted to avoid any requirement to be consistent in their stories.
But even if Terri had made the statements she claimed, it's a big stretch to claim that she would wish to be fatally dehydrated to carry them out, especially if the alternative was to be doted over my loving parents.
If someone sees a homeless man on the street and says to me "I'd rather die than live like that", does that mean I should kill the person if he ever becomes homeless?
If there were nobody alive who wanted to care for Terri, then there might be some justification to granting her so-called "wishes". But to suggest that Terri should be granted the 'foresight' to realize that she could be dehydrated for her statements, and yet not grant her the foresight to realize that even in her condition there would be people willing to care for her, is craven.

No need to take it personally as it is in no way true.
That's right you do sound like a DUmmie.. I read the Dummie funnies daily because I can't believe any living souls can be such idiots, now it seems to be looking the same here with all the conspiracy idiots running amuck..
Then again there are other medical people who were there also that say the opposite. So, there we are.
(1) In any of the following circumstances involving the death of a human being, the medical examiner of the district in which the death occurred or the body was found shall determine the cause of death and shall, for that purpose, make or have performed such examinations, investigations, and autopsies as he or she shall deem necessary or as shall be requested by the state attorney:
All he has to do is deem an autopsy 'unnecessary'. After all, she was under the care of a physcian at the time of her demise.
(And we do have to cover for our sheriff, the Greer Reaper, and our courts, people we work with every day)...
Her family said that she wouldn't have stated that she wanted to be dehydrated to death.
Greer said that was '
hearsay'.
Yet he allowed into testimony Micheal's hearsay on what Terris wishes were, despite having 'remembered' this 'fact' 8 years after her 'accident'.
So, after having paraded Terri before the press and filing a malpractice suit, having pics taken of he and Terri to prove during the malpractice suit how 'responsive' she was to him, she's suddenly 'unresponsive'?
This doesn't seem odd to you?
The point is not meaningless superstition; it is sound psychology, for it prevents the living from worshipping or obsessing over the dead. When you have an urn sitting on the mantelpiece it's too easy for a certain type of person to get weird about it, talk to the ashes of your loved one, pray to it, ask it for help, and generally obsess. If the ashes are buried the living can move on in a more healthy manner and address your prayers to the Lord.
Schiavo probably thinks he's going to blend into society after this is over. He will not give press conferences, no Larry King sigh fests, so he really doesn't care what anyone thinks after Terri has passed on. Wonder how much interest there will be at CNN or Fox a month or two from now.
Well I wonder- she can't be too bright herself. I will be interested to find out what type of life insurance they have on Terri. She could be in it just for the riches- if she is then she may be plain old happy as a pig.
And you get your hearsay straight form Micheal I suppose'"
Whatever, look like a fool all you want. Believe everything is a conspiracy. Whatever.
It's left the earth.
The living body is like a suit.
The soul gets a new suit after death.
The body has no purpose after death. IMO.
Actually you are correct. But it was the 300,000 they wanted half or a part of. It was Feb 14, 1993 when they stopped communicating with him. In fact a fight almost broke out during visitation that day. The 700,000 went immediately into a trust fund for her care. In the Wolfson report he was very impressed with the record keeping and management of that trust fund. I only mention this because a lot has been made regarding the mismanagment of the trust fund, when it is indeed the opposite.
"Euthanasia IS a crime.
STILL.
"
Not everywhere it isn't.
It is not. As long as your husband wasn't mixed up with a lawyer and judge in keeping funds rolling through the Hospice , by altering some laws to specifically fit your case, and declare you terminally ill when you weren't.
Is that also difficult to understand?
It is fact that Felos and the Hospice (and the judge's wife) are on the take for $14 million scammed from Medicare. Do you dispute this fact?
She has a wheelchair.
It's broken and has not been replaced.
As for her state, I don't think anyone will ever know what her true state is.
This is the test case, the 'precedent setter' for the euthanasia movement.
And it is an ugly precedent to set.
