Schiavo is a low life scum out for money. That is all he has ever been about.
Please don't try to equate your personal situation to this scumbag. It just doesn't work.
Michael is a great hound for easy money, and has no scruples on how he gets it. He has never been able to hold a good job. But don't overlook his hatred for Terri and her family as a motive for denying her rehabilitation, treatment and every little comfort for the last thirteen years of her life.
When he put "I kept my promise" on her memorial, the venom in his words was almost palpable. He never kept his vows to "love, honor and cherish" Terri. The only promise he ever kept to her was to kill her -- and he dated it February 25, 1990. Think about that.
A low life scumbag who sat by his wife's bed for years, became a nurse to help her, moved his life to California for an experimental therapy. Then the time came to accept she would never get better. That's not being a scumbag, that's being a realist. You have no idea what this man has been through. I don't think most young men would have done 10% of that. There are those who believe there are things worse than death, you don't. FINE. That does not make him a scumbag. Money? He made $300,000. He would have made that no matter what happened to her. The money has nothing to do with it.
