Re: "the Schindlers admitted that they would have disregarded Mrs. Schiavo's wishes even if they were known in writing."

"I've never heard that before. Has anyone else heard that before now?

The statement is correct. There was a Father Murphy involved in the case and he made the Schindler's thoughts known to the court. He considered the mother's thoughts on the "requirement" to provide unlimited med treatment bizarre and unhealthy.

Thanks for the update.

I think it was a very dumb mistake on the part of the Schindler's to make those statements. I don't think they were too bright (sorry) but all they cared about was saving their daughter and they didn't think things through.
