It may have to do with libel laws. The anti-Reagan books were also written while he was alive. Of course, Terri was a "public figure" for several years prior to her murder. And we should always call this a murder henceforth, and call her Schindler.
I agree TR. I have been referring to Terri by her maiden name for about a week now. Her hino's last name will become , as someone mentioned, a term for killing the disabled. It will join Bork and Lewinsky and even Clymer.
To be "Schaivoed" is a horrible thing.
