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.
Where in the Bible does it say that every religious practice or belief must be found in the Bible?
I have just had enough of this. Go to her own website for all of the documents and read them will you? If you dont like opposing points of view, then prehaps you should go to du.
"Have you seen her bone scan that was released? It's quite an interesting read. The phrase, "The patient has a history of trauma" comes to mind.
"
I have seen it, and I've read the analyses of it. Her injuries, with the exeption of the leg injury, are consistent with a fall and CPR administration. The bone scan was done some time later. The line "The patient has a history of trauma" merely means that there is evidence of trauma. Trauma does not necessarily mean she was attacked...just that she was injured.
The neck and rib trauma could easily have come from the fall and CPR. In case you weren't aware, CPR often leads to rib trauma.
I, myself, have a compression fracture in the same place as Terri. It happened when I fell and went into convulsions when I had viral meningitis. I got three broken ribs, too, when the paramedics used CPR on me.
I was unaware of both injuries until I woke up from the coma I was in three days later.
Reading this bone scan report isn't that easy. There is a lot of medicaleze in it. "A history of trauma" merely means that sometime in the past (recent or distant) injuries occurred. It says nothing about how they occurred.
No common law marriages means no bigamy
That is not the case. Maybe some here may try that. But mostly people are just giving their point of view.

Yeah, so what's your point.
And you have been a member here long enough to realize this.
So, trying to use the issue, and distort of hide the reasons, to make the Schindler's look bad, tells something.
He could have offered them money to repay for them taking care of him. A REAL MAN would have done so.
A REAL MAN would have faced up to asking for a divorce, asking her parents to understand and offer them a monetary way to handle taking over her care.
A REAL MAN that got engaged to a woman would not ask her to wait ten years to get married.
Opinions vary, I guess.
I will agree with that.
Really? The hospital could give no reason for stiffness in the neck. Or other muscle stiffness. Broken bones account for the rigidity of muscles. Since you're a doctor, I'd like your take on the stiff neck.
(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:So in other words, if Michael were trying to avoid an autopsy, he *wouldn't* be having Terri cremated. Good info. Thank you.(a)...
(b)...
(c) When a body is to be cremated...
I am not a groupie. I just happen to have a different opinion on the case and I think I am right. Just like you think you are right. Such, as the wheel turns. :-)
Some, I will grant some. Not mostly.
"dozens and dozens of broken bones? A human body contains 206 bones total. Where did you get this dea that so many of her bones are broken?"
Yes, I noticed that, too. There's nothing that indicates dozens of broken bones anywhere in any document. She had rib and upper back injuries, consistent with the use of CPR. She had some bone growth on her thigh, as well, but the report and the testimony indicate that could have been from a bone bruise. I've had those. They hurt like crazy and bone does grow. I have a knot on my Femur from it.
How did it happen? I ran into a lift tower while skiing. I know, stupid of me, but it's a long story.
His was given for non-spousal relations, the actual term has left my brain for the moment.
The seven hundred grand was 100% for her care. MS didn't see a cent of it.
He also used a good portion of his three hundred for her care, when the seven hundred ran out.
He lost a lot of work (no income) for those years he personally cared for her 24/7.
Considering that insulin formation is a vital involuntary function, someone at some point in the future is likely to argue for it.
The other bill introduced into Florida, HB2131, mentions specifically in Section 1 'end of life care' (line 17) Florida having the fourth highest population (line 19) the largest percentage of elderly residents (Lines 21 and 22) and third largest Aids incidence. (line 22)
Lines 23 and 24 mention heart disease and chrionic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Quite horrific.
"Go to her own website for all of the documents and read them will you?"
Her website? Terri's? As far as I know, she hasn't created one. I don't think she'd be able to.
Perhaps you mean one of the websites that others have started.
U R impossible....
Where the money went seems to be contested only by you.
All monies spent were documented and done completely 'legally'.
Her CREMATION.
Michael's Lawyer.
Fee's above and beyond Medicaid at the HOSPICE for the TERMINALLY ILL.
Court Fees.
All done, nice and legal. Just like her termination.
Matter of fact, Felos and Greer altered the law to specifically Apply To Terri Schiavo's case.
Then turned around and told Jeb Bush it was unconstitutional to do it.
