now those same people are going to start painting Bob and Mary Schindler as crackpots. I sense that some of the MSM is pulling away, now that they think the Schindlers have lost.
I wish the MSM would investigate Terri's intent at the time she allegedly said "No tubes."
Maybe Terri said, "no tubes."...
- to make someone else feel less remorseful about having removed a respirator from a relative
- because no one warned her that the words would really be her death warrant.
- because she was depressed. (We don't kill depressed people just because they say they are a "burden.")
- because she forgot she had the "right to remain silent" and to have a "lawyer present."
- because her erratic life with job-hopping Michael was driving her crazy

Here's a question that I know has probably been asked on the forum, but when she dies and with all of the questions about the circumstances that brought her to this point, could there be a homicide investigation?
It seems that the local police (perhaps, the sheriff's office specifically) is in cahoots with Michael Schavio's side of the argument. I don't know the laws with regards to the autopsy (and I don't know what the autopsy would reveal), but the autopsy seems like it should be done.
Course, I think that the facts about how Terri came to be in this medical condition are going to die with her. Because, as I have read, there are only 2 ways in which she could have suffered the initial injury:
1. From an existing medical condition; or,
2. Being suffocated (or having the blood cut off)
And, from what I have read, there was no detected or even suspected medical condition that could have induced the injury that Terri suffered, based on her prior medical history. And, barring an undiagnosed medical condition, which is certainly possible, the 2nd option seems possible.
Not to mention that if she would have continued to receive the therapy she was receiving, she would have continued to progress, as she had already been.
But, up until this point, no investigtion, no conclusion, no nothing.
Michael Schavio wants Terri to die, whether by her own wish's or his. Either way, the truth dies with her.

Me too. Just don't understand it. If Islamicists take over the judiciary someday and begin stoning people to death out behind the courthouse, will the executive and legislative branches turn a blind eye because they want to avoid a constitutional crisis? Jesus Christ! The gutlessness we're seeing in this case is sickening.

If she said it all all, it's entirely possible she was just saying what everyone around her was saying. People do that, especially to avoid arguments involving controversial subjects.
But I don't believe she said it, period. These people are just stone-cold liars.
To: what's up
"That being said...what exact action would he like to be taken?" You might begin with prayer for God's little one Terri Schiavo. Then if it's not too much maybe email the Bush brothers and ask them to intervene. In other words, do what you would do if Terri were your little girl.
"And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward." - (MATHEW 10:42)
"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." (MARK 9:37)
"So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish". (Mathew 18:14)

I want to see a good ol' fashioned federal raid on that Hospice. Get her out of that hell hole!!!Maybe you could get Janet Reno to lead the effort. You liked it so well when she did it for E. Gonzales. Gestapo, I think thats to what they were likened.

They're not the only people in the world who has had a child die. Can't they do anything privately?

nd it's incredible to see how she's acting." Does anyone know if dehydration could be reducing the spinal fluid in her brain, and actually making her more alert?
She never got a shunt.

Yep, but he is worse than Pontius Pilate, in that he signed the law which is allowing Terri to be killed.

Wondering if other families of patients in that hospice, have considered removing them and placing them in a hospice that will actually follow the doctors orders. To do what's in the best interest of the patient. Not to follow the orders of a husband, by withholding treatment and who has led a well orchestrated plan to murder his wife.

You didn't read my comment, obviously. I would like to know the father's thoughts...not yours.

Let everyone who said your beautiful smile was fake be haunted by it for the rest of their days.

To: LibWhacker
The lesson in all this is not to trust your fate to the legal system, medical system, political system -- and certainly not the media, if one wants a rational outcome. It means a need for greater self-sufficiency and self-reliance, which begins of course, by making better discriminations and decisions.
Generally, it is not a good idea to marry the first and only person one ever dates. And then when the marriage goes bad, it's not a waste of the years put into it, to get out of it, at whatever cost, or it could cost you your life. There are no guarantees of a happy outcome -- no matter what the demagogues promise. We all take our best shot and make the best from what we know.
Let her will to live, inspire us to make the most of our own lives.
