Who is Terri Schiavo

MSNBC.com ^ | 3/25/05 | Jennifer Frey

[Maurice1962]

WASHINGTON - She was a girl who laughed easily at her uncle's lame jokes. A girl so naive that she wrote to John Denver, asking him to come sing at her wedding, who went to Disney World for her honeymoon and believed that a good life meant that one day she'd be able to vacation there every year with her kids.

She was a girl who loved animals and worshiped cute television stars, paying homage to heartthrobs Starsky and Hutch by naming two gerbils after them. She daydreamed about working for a veterinarian when she grew up, or maybe just being a dog groomer.

In this debate, the humanness of Terri is lost. Our society has let down a kind individual who deserves nothing less than her full civil rights as afforded by the Constitution of the United States and her creator.

[Kings18-37]

I reverse the question some of you who thinks Mike schiavo is right and should be guardian- and Terri should die.

Assume, Terri’s your daughter. And assume the feeding tube has not been removed, and she exists healthy in body, but not in mind- in a vegetative state. .

Now you, her parent,in your heart, feel she’s suffering and you DON’T want her to live like that, and you want to pull the feeding tube. Fine. As her parent, that would be your right and within the dictates of your conscience and it would be none of mine or the government's business.

However, how would you feel if her husband, shacked up with another woman, maintained legal guardianship over your daughter, and each month was receiving disability benefits from her former employer. And this estranged husband told you that he was legally going to keep her alive? How would you feel about that?

In my view, Schiavo gave up his right to be Guardian when he shacked up with the other woman. He's got a conflict of interest, and shouldn't be making the life and death decision

This is what Terri was up against.

Here’s where most of the Terri Schiavo Insurance money went:

These funds, the result of a malpractice suit, were meant solely to provide for Terri Schiavo’s care and rehabilitation.
=======================================================================================
Atty. Gwyneth Stanley - $10,668.05
Atty. Deborah Bushnell - $65,607.00
Atty. Steve Nilson - $7,404.95
Atty. Pacarek - $1,500.00
Atty. Richard Pearse (GAL) - $4,511.95
Atty. George Felos - $397,249.99
1st Union/South Trust Bank – $55,459.85
Michael Schiavo - $10,929.95
Total: $545,852.34

Neglect and abuse complaints is that Michael Schiavo:

* Has not allowed therapy or rehabilitation since late 1992.
* Has prevented swallowing tests or swallowing therapy since 1993.
* Ordered caretakers not to clean Terri's teeth since 1995, resulting in removal of five teeth in April 2004.
* Placed Terri in hospice in 2000, despite the fact she is not terminally ill.
* Refuses to allow Terri to leave her room. She has not been outside since 2000.
* Ordered doctors not to treat Terri when she had a life threatening infection in 1993 and 1995.

Virtually as soon as Michael Schiavo received the monies from the medical malpractice claim involving his wife, Terri Schindler-Schiavo,
he withheld all therapy and rehabilitation services from her.

Terri Schiavo had sustained a serious brain injury as the result of a suspicious incident in their home in 1990 and in 1992,
her husband had filed claims against several of her former doctors, claiming her “collapse” was caused by a misdiagnosis.
He received over $1.5 million in 1993 including $750,000 which had been specifically earmarked by the trial jury for Terri’s rehabilitation based on a life expectancy of 50 years.
Mary and Bob Schindler Sr., her parents, consulted a St. Petersburg attorney about removing Michael Schiavo as their daughter’s guardian and discussed the case at length with him.
Unfortunately, the Schindlers did not have the amount of money the attorney demanded as a retainer to take the case.
That attorney became the judge in the case-----a totally prohibited conflict of interest.
Thereafter, the attorney-judge approved the hiring of George Felos as the attorney for Schiavo to be paid from the trust fund and the stage was set for her judicial homicide.
The judge wasn’t George W. Greer.
It was Mark I. Shames.

The money was then diverted to the Judicide G reer.

[nmh]

If this hadn't happened to Terri we would not have heard of her. She sounds like a good person who just wanted to be happily married with kids and perhaps work with animals. This could be anybody. Her mistake was marrying Michael. He ended that dream.

[tallhappy]

In my view, Schiavo gave up his right to be Guardian when he shacked up with the other woman.

I agree. But the feeding tube removal is a fig leaf. It's intellectually dishonest. It is not equivalent to articifical means to maintian life.

As such, the feeding tube removal is simply a means to euthanize.

We need to face this and either do lethal injection or do no euthanization.

Starvation torture is no way to do it.

[MisterRepublican]

Someone in the media should answer another question. Who is Michael Schiavo? Where did he come from? What kind of environment was he raised in? What made him so vicious and hateful? Why did he kill her?

Maybe someday I'll be watching his case on some Court TV crime story.

[ace2u_in_MD]

You know, of course, that a judge, any judge, can only rule on what has been presented to the court?

The family, either accidental or by design, dropped the ball in their Federal Court filings.

[Kings18-37]

You didn't answer the question. How would you feel if you were the parent?

[Diogenesis]

It's not about euthanasia, it's about Judicial-Fatwah FORCED Judicial Murder by Extreme Torture.

It's about the fact that DEATH BY STARVATION was used by the Nazis for anyone daring to escape the Crematoria.

Welcome to FreeRepublic. Try to read the facts instead of making them up, Newbie.

[Iam1ru1-2]

"I read all these ridiculous conspiracy theories where the judges and Michael Shiavo are "trying to murder her" but the basic question is WHY?"

WHY? Would you allow your daughter to be given custody to a husband who has now shacked up with another woman, had 2 babies by her, and when it has been shown that before the accident occured, it has been shown that she was traumatized physically, and that perhaps this is why she is in her state presently? And suspicions are that the husband was responsible for these physical traumas to her body including broken ribs? Would you?

[GeekDejure]

Your sponge has turned to stone. Go away Troll !!!

[MisterRepublican]

I guess you are unaware of the "right-to-die"(euthanasia) movement and the fact that his lawyer is a self-described "crusader" for it.

[monkeywrench]

Study up on the history of the aclu and the hemlock society. You'll get the 'why' part.

BTW, show me where the "right to die" is in the Constitution. Most of us don't want some cheap leftist made up "right" as a substitute for our God given Constitutional rights.

[supercat]

I agree. But the feeding tube removal is a fig leaf. It's intellectually dishonest. It is not equivalent to articifical means to maintian life.

More to the point, the prohibition of oral feeding goes far beyond ending artificial life support. Had the parents been allowed to attempt oral feeding, and been told that if they succeeded Terri could live with them, I would not have had such a strong opposition to discontinuing gastrostomic feeding (largely because Terri probably could have eaten by mouth). But Greer's order would kill anyone upon whom it was enforced. As the order was written, even if Terri had gotten up the strength to get herself a glass of water she would still have been denied it.

[PatriotGirl827]

Good work, Diogenesis. I hope justice is eventually served for poor Terri.
