" I believe Kevorkian killed a woman whose only disability was fibromyalgia. That is in NO WAY a terminal disease."

I think I remember the exact case you are talking about. From what I recall, the woman was in her mid 40's. Her and her husband were interviewed on a program like 60 minutes. The husband was all for her dying. I don't remember him saying one word to discourage her from dying.

As I watched that show, I felt the wife was looking for some support from her husband. I believe she wanted him to say - I don't want you to die. But instead, he was all for the decision of death. She was probably despressed due to the pain of her disease. I blame the husband as much as Kevorkian. I've read studies that show, most who opt for death, do so because they feel they are burden to their family. I doubt she really wanted to die. Instead, I feel she wanted her so called husband to tell her he loved her and wanted her to live.

In Terri's case, her parents were called selfish and worse because they wanted to take care of their daughter and wanted her to live. It's like the world has been turned upside down.

Ezekiel 13: 2b thou shalt say to them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the Lord: 3 Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit, and see nothing.

Ezekiel 13:6 They see vain things, and they foretell lies, saying: The Lord saith: whereas the Lord hath not sent them: and they have persisted to confirm what they have said. 7 Have you not seen a vain vision and spoken a lying divination: and you say: The Lord saith: whereas I have not spoken. 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have spoken vain things, and have seen lies: therefore behold I come against you, saith the Lord God. 9 And my hand shall be upon the prophets that see vain things, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the council of my people . . .

Ezekiel 13:17 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people that prophesy out of their own heart: and do thou prophesy against them, 18 And say: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to them that sew cushions under every elbow: and make pillows for the heads of persons of every age to catch souls: and when they caught the souls of my people, they gave life to their souls. 19 And they violated me among my people, for a handful of barley, and a piece of bread, to kill souls which should not die, and to save souls alive which should not live, telling lies to my people that believe lies. 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I declare against your cushions, wherewith you catch flying souls: and I will tear them off from your arms: and I will let go the souls that you catch, the souls that should fly.

Notes on verses above:
18 "Sew cushions"... Viz., by making people easy in their sins, and promising them impunity.

18 "They gave life to their souls"... That is, they flattered them with promises of life, peace, and security.

19 "Violated me"... That is, dishonoured and discredited me.

19 "To kill souls"... That is, to sentence souls to death, which are not to die; and to promise life to them who are not to live.

21 And I will tear your pillows, and will deliver my people out of your hand, neither shall they be any more in your hands to be a prey: and you shall know that I am the Lord. 22 Because with lies you have made the heart of the just to mourn, whom I have not made sorrowful: and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his evil way, and live. 23 Therefore you shall not see vain things, nor divine divinations any more, and I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

In the final analysis, George Felos, Judge Greer, and Michael Schiavo lose. But Terri Schindler Schivo WINS!
