His address was met by a standing ovation from the more than 200 people in attendance.

Lovely. Somehow Schiavo and "medical ethics" don't seem to go together.

[American Quilter]

He makes slime look good.

[Red Badger]

Michael Schiavo speaking at a mdeical ethics conference is like Bill Clinton speaking at a Sexual Harrassment seminar......

[Old Professer]

I'm sitting here trying to figure out why this news makes me think of serving frog legs in the school cafeteria.

[PeterFinn]

I can only hope that bastard gets the kharma kurse dropped on his ass. He'll have to suffer for a few lifetimes to get past the evil he visited on Terri.

[twigs]

This doesn't give me much confidence in people who keep on eye on medical ethics. What were they thinking?

Pure comedy gold.

In his first public comments since his wife's death

Should read: In his first public comments since his wife's murder

That's better.

[Gerish]

>i> It was only after years of futile effort to revive her that he decided to end her treatment.

That sentence should be reworded to speak the truth. "It was only after years of futile planning to murder her that he decided to starve her to death."

[Sweet Hour of Prayer]

"..he refused for years to believe his wife was in a permanent vegetative state "

The number of years required to sue doctors/health care providers, go to college off the money set aside to provide for Terri and get himself a huge settlement. Then he recalls that Terri wanted to die. The timing is very revealing. I wonder how many life-insurance policies he has collected on since Terri's demise? His girlfriend and he did own a Life insurance company. His ethics are banal.

[freespirited]

''Terri didn't die an awful death,'' he said.

Michael should put his money where his mouth is by specifying in his living will that he wishes to be starved and dehydrated to death once his demise is near. (Of course Terri's wasnt.)

[tumblindice]

"Terri didn't die an awful death."
And neither did Mary Jo Kopechne.

Ted Kennedy can do one-hand pushups
and John Kerry is a war hero.

Welcome to liberal Bizzaro world.

What is amazing to me is why is the military down in New Orleans saving all of those people that were dying, they were obviously euphoric... -sarc

[putupjob]

Michael, it's good to know that Terry didn't die an awful death. The survivors of Auschwitz indicated that extreme dehydration and starvation wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. I guess they just don't feel as bad as they look.

[magslinger]

In other news; Saddam Husein to speak at good governance convention.

[wideawake]

''Terri didn't die an awful death,'' he said.

"She died one of those great, fun deaths that we all watched those Ethiopian kids enjoying on TV in the mid-80s! Live Aid people! You know what I'm talking about!" he continued, "Total euphoria, dudes!"

[I still care]

"As she died, ''I laid a red rose in her hand and said goodbye."

You mean this hand?

More than 200 people who are as mentally ill as Michael is.
Hey Michael, I made Terri a promise too.
