"I think this is a seminal right to die with dignity story."

Death by dehydration and/or starvation against one's will is not an illustration of dignity, sir.

"I think this is a seminal right to die with dignity story."

Or a 'How To ______________' book. Fill in the blank.

Isn't Fuhrman's book also a "ka-ching" opportunity?

well, isn't this the way things are done today?

Something dreadful happens, everyone wants to rush to write books about it and make $$$'s. I am certainly not suprised.

"I think this is a seminal right to die with dignity story."

It was not so much a right-to-die or right-to-life story as it was a story about who speaks for a person when she cannot speak for herself.

Wishing there were a way to let publishers know beforehand, how unhappy some folks will be with the publisher of MS's book. I will not be content just to refrain from buying the book.

I for one, will not buy his book, watch his movie, or give him water if he asks.

I wonder if the word "Shame" can be found in the book ?

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday he may ask prosecutors to probe questions about Michael's conduct...

Or he may not.

Michael better start a serial instead of the fiction novel he's shopping.

A serial is the only route for him because he will be haunted and hunted in many unique ways every day for the rest of his life.

Ya know, virilent hatred of a person usually hurts the hater, not the hated. Not smart.

Last I heard, Fuhrman didn't order his wife killed by dehydration and starvation. I will not buy a book by a guy who just got away with murder.

People are angry enough that some will actively interfere with book sales.

This has become my chant, and I think you and I are among the few who hear it.

Bush met with Fuhrman recently. That's probably when he heard that Fuhrman had some evidence of timeline discrepancies. Bush is just covering himself.

I suspect you have a different meaning for "speaking for someone who can't speak for herself" than I would. Last I heard, assisted suicide has been, and still is, illegal in Florida. Since Terri's condition wasn't terminal, even IF she did tell Michael she "wouldn't want to live that way," killing her as he did was every bit as criminal as anything the famed "Dr. Death" did, and he ended up in jail for it.

At least, in his case, the people definitely made such statements, often signed and notarized. In the Schiavo case, there was just the word of a husband who "suddenly remembered" it some years after the fact, and almost immediately after he collected his settlement for her "care." None of her family heard her say any such thing, and none of her actual friends did either--I say "actual" because a lot of people are touting her sister-in-law (Michael's sister) as her "best friend" when that was most certainly not the case.

I just hope he will do the right thing, even if it's for the wrong reasons.
