Sounds likeit was written by a professional from the husband's legal team (er, promotions department) and TV advisor.

The "facts" and "summaries" and conclusions work only if you believe everything Schiavo said was true.

And very little of that can be verified, and much of the rest has already been proven as false.

I thought he disagreed a lot with what they did to Terri. Did we read the same article?

I think he dislikes that people think life is unworthy of life:

So what, our imagined M&M conference leaders might ask, can one learn from this story? When I first considered this question along with several other doctors and nurses experienced in hospice care, we were nonplussed. Although we had treated hundreds of patients like Terri Schiavo, none of us had experienced a failure like this one. Our first thought was that other matters must have been at work—old resentments, unacknowledged jealousies, envy, bitter conflicts over money—to generate the kind of abuse of a patient so visible here. Only gradually, with publication of the reports, decisions, and interviews, did the explanation become clear.

As soon as Terri Schiavo’s case moved into the law courts of Florida, the concept of “life under altered circumstances” went by the boards—and so, necessarily, did any consideration of how to serve such life. Both had been trumped by the concept of “life unworthy of life,” and how to end it.

Were that the case, she'd still be alive. I think you need to read the article more carefully. It’s clear to me that he argues that we’re creating a culture of death which no longer recognizes the value of life, particularly the inherant value of life under altered circumstances.
