But Terri/Michael were awarded $$millions Hildy.

Michael chose to spend her rehab money on lawyer fees getting her killed, instead.

He didn't spend it on rehab.

He didn't even spend on hospice; illegal Medicaid monies were spent on her care there.

Surely you know this.

Yes, I know this and he has stated his reasons. You make it sound like he used it to buy a lear jet. I think MS did the right thing and worked to fulfill his wife's wishes because there was nothing more that could have been done. How do you know she wasn't suffering every day she was alive? You don't. I don't. I'd hope my husband would do the same thing in the same circumstance. I've said this a thousand times that I believe there are things worse than death, and when asked if one would want to live indefinitely in the condition Terri was in, 99.9% of the people on this Earth would say no. And this has nothing to do with people with disabilities. This is about the permanent condition Terri Schiavo was in and only that. And we're done here. I respect your opinion, you're obviously passionate about it, but so am I. Why else would I subject myself to the neverending beatings I get whenever I question anything about this topic. Because it's a very, very important subject and we as a Country must talk about it and come to terms with the fact that we cannot keep every"body" alive no matter what just because we can.
