So, her kidneys were failing and she was 79 and the Guardian wants to paint Mr. Shindler as acting in a hypocritical fashion? I don't see it.

A ventilator is not the same as a feeding tube.

This is the same thing they tried to do to Tom DeLay and his father. No comparison there either.

A feeding tube is not a disease like failing kindneys.
Terri was not even "sick".

Hmmm... based on all the theories I'm seeing on Michael Schiavo's "motivations" in wanting to end life support for Terri, I guess it's only fair to ask what Mr. Schindler's "motivations" were when he decided to end life support for his mother...

Terri is not being "allowed" to die. They are causing her to die, and that is killing.

Even if one thinks these 2 situations are comparable, the argumant could be made that perhaps Mr. Schindler regrets his previous choice and has vowed not to do the same thing again.

A ventilator is not the same as a feeding tube.

In Florida, both are considered 'life support'. Period.

Don't like it? Get the law changed :)

Not to mention, she needed a machine to keep her breathing!! BIG difference between a ventilator and a feeding tube!

I don't see it either.

It seems to be an attempt to snooker unaware people into lining up against the Schindlers
