Michael Schiavo to Tell His Side of the Story in Book
AP ^ | 9/18/05

Posted on 09/18/2005 1:25:48 PM PDT by Crackingham

Michael Schiavo is co-writing a book with author Michael Hirsh to tell his side of the end-of-life case that divided much of the country. Schiavo's wife Terri suffered a brain injury in 1990 that left her in what some doctors called a "persistent vegetative state." She died March 31 after a bitter court battle between her husband and her parents.

Hirsh expects the 280-page book, "Terri: the Truth," to be available just before the first anniversary of Terri's death. Dutton Publishing publicity manager Jean Anne Rose confirmed that the company is publishing the book in March.

Michael Schiavo's decision to remove a feeding tube that kept his brain-damaged wife alive alienated him from her parents, drew a Congressional intervention and even prompted criticism from President Bush.

Hirsh, 62, is a Vietnam veteran and a former Los Angeles television producer who has written three books about the military.

As Terri's spouse, wasn't it legally Michael's decision to remove the feeding tube?

Prior to this, it was specifically illegal for a spouse (or anyone else) to substitute their own agenda for the will of the patient. Because of liberal interpretations of stare decisis, it will now likely be considered legal by most judges.

There's no easy explanation for anyone being fooled by someone so lacking in a disguise.



Your right! No one and no one's intentions could have been and is more obvious than 'Mr.Blood Money'.

I remember that the Vet didn't want to do it because he could of found homes for them. Michael insisted on their death...

The same could be said of Terri's doctor not wanting Terri euthanized. That's why Michael replaced Terri's doctor with advocates of forced euthanasia.

I wonder if Michael heard any objections from his own parents' doctors before he gleefully had them starved and dehydrated to death. Remember him bragging about that on Larry King?

Michael Schiavo's mother was AGAINST him starving and dehydrating Terri to death via judicial homicide. It wasn't long after that his mother took ill and he killed her the same way. He admitted so on Larry King Live. He said "I did my parents this way too." that is almost verbatim.

His mom had an illness but I doubt she really wanted to be starved to death considering that she objected to HINO seeking to starve Terri to death.

Not all serial killers use guns and knives.

Trolls who love HINO, read this article before you even think about buying his sorry book. (disclaimer: as usual we at Free Republic, Terri's freepers imo are fully aware this could be the state trying to fool the people again. Time will tell).

Terri was learning to speak. The person who was teaching was removed from the visitor list because she was making excellent progress. WHEN WILL THE TRUTH COME OUT????? She was murdered and deprived of her rehabilitation, her rehab monies were stolen away by fee petitions okayed by JUDGE GREED.

poor hino was "drug through the mud". Poor Terri was drugged, starved, dehydrated and neglected thru the marriage from hell. I just don't feel sorry for poor HINO. Terri: The Truth. What a title. It's a lie like everything else from the death camp.

Why didn't the vet refuse to do this?

Michael insisted on it. Cats and Terri had no rights whether they were healthy or otherwise.

Seem to be a lot of so called christants and jews who invoke the 6th commandment while totally ignoring the 9th.

For those who don't know the Commandments .. it would be nice to list them; people might get the point then.

He's referring to the too common practice of disregarding:

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor

We tend to get more upset over Michael's breaking of the 6th commandment, but that doesn't mean we're totally ignoring his breaking of the 9th.

WTP is referring to many of the posters on this forum breaking the 9th.

That is strange. I'm starting to believe that if Michael can get his hands on someone's life he will starve them to death. He is a serial killer for sure seeing he starved his own parents in the manner! SICK.

My grandfather just died of cancer and stopped eating and drinking 3 days before he died and there was no feeding tube, but that was because he was dying and about to die. Terri wasn't dying and so pulling the feeding tube was murder! My grandfather died in his sleep and I can rest knowing he died by the hands of God and not by not eating or drinking. It is a shame some people think taking a life is ok.

Despite their lies, they still have one death on their side that they have to live with. We haven't even got Micheal to a lie detector yet.....what a joke they are.

Here's your answer, TSO. bjs1779 came to the rescue again!

If she did,as has been reported,die broke,then his efforts failed.

She didn't die broke. A few hours after her death, Greer signed on the dotted line that MS got her estate in it's entirety, then sealed the record so no one knows what he got. Not the actions of someone that got zip.
