Legal analysts said to expect legislatures across the country to examine their end-of-life laws.
"In my view, the most material question is the status of a guardian," said Jonathan Turley, a professor at George Washington University who has followed Schiavo's case closely.
"I personally believe that the Schindlers had good ground to question whether Michael Schiavo should have continued as the guardian after he formed a new family with another woman and ultimately had two children by that individual," Turley told FOXNews.com

The National Newspapers were not "up front" with their reporting either, which caused the polls to be misleading.
But don't let that little fact get in the way.
I just heard on Greta that Michael Schiavo has Barred the Schindlers from Terri's Funeral. Really nice guy Huh
I would hope that a criminal investigation would be initiated. Hannity had a lawyer on his show today talking about evidence, 53 weeks after she was hospitalized, that she had a broken femur, broken pelvis, and a broken back. If these things were done to her and caused her to be hospitalized and she slowly deteriorated and died ffrom whatever cause, a grand jury should consider an indictment for homicide.
What Saddam Hussein did, had to take courage too! He snuffed a lot of people out, but at least, he did it the quick way, and not the "slow death" of starving and dehydration. Oh, yes, some do admire Saddam, and I do know that.
Michael will never regain his reputation, or honor. He will have her cremated and send her ashes hundreds of miles away. I hope he sees her face every time he closes his eyes for the rest of his life.
When was Terri afforded a court-appointed attorney? Their name please?
Is it normal to get a compression fracture to the lumbar spine and right femur while laying in bed?
" What Michael did took courage"
Oh please.
How much courage does it take for Michael to tell Judge Greer to order zero antibiotics for Terri's multiple UTIs ?
Ever had a urinary tract infection ?
It's extremely painful. Imagine enduring it without antibiotics.
Terri did.
How much courage did it take for Michael to order that Terri not have her teeth brushed for years ?
How much courage did it take for Michael to order that Terri never be wheeled out of her room, for years into the fresh air and sunshine ?
How much courage did it take for Michael to prohibit Terri's family from visiting her for weeks at a time ?
How much courage did it take for Michael to order that his wife, who was capable of taking soft food and liquids, be starved ?
If that's your definition of courage, call me a coward.
You, sir, are very misguided in your thinking. Divorce was the sensible thing to do. Giving Terri's parents the responsibility to care for her would have been the compasionate thing to do. When MS started his new life, he should have withdrawn from being responsible for his first wife. Of course, it was greed that drove him to sue for Malpractice, and dishonesty that drove him to say he could spend the money to care for Terri for the rest of HIS life. (That's what he said under oath.)
I personally think that MS is responsible for Terri's physical condition and that is why he has taken this course of action.
May the Hound of Heaven hound him all the days of his life.
"What Michael did took courage"
Starving and dehydrating your wife while you bone another woman takes courage?
I'm reminded of Dan Rather..."Courage."
Right on my Irish Brother!
Given her age, I would say "NO." Good POST!
Dan Abrams concluded his show tonight by asserting that the legal system worked in this case. Really? If it had worked well, I don't think we would ever have heard about it.
The attorney doesn't exist that I would want making life and death decisions for my loved ones. Why are you so angry with the people who support the rights of those who can't speak for themselves?
Don't forget that Michael lied about her wish to be dead. Don't forget that Michael said on Larry King Live recently that it was not Terri's wish, but his that she die. Don't forget that he was already in a common law marriage with this other woman and already had his first child with her only three years after Terri's collapse, and that was his second intimate relationship after Terry. Don't forget his own testimony that he was denying her treatment in hopes that she would die long before he asked the courts for permission to kill her. Don't forget that he promised the court in his malpractice case that he needed the money for her care and that he would always be there for her, and immediately after getting the check he began his efforts to kill her.
We are all emotional about this. If you want to worship at Michael's altar, go ahead. Would you be as adamant if Terri had been your daughter, and you suspected that he did something to cause the collapse in the first place?
>>>An attorney was appointed by the courts to represent Terry. That attorney concluded that she would not want to live in this condition.>>>
You are incorrect.
Great point!
