Cheryl Ford is totally right about Jay Wolfson and his lack of caring about Terri. Wolfson was part of the group that wanted her to die, imo. Wolfson was constantly on the media spinning the BS lies of the culture of death while Terri was imprisoned and not allowed to have even an ice chip placed in her mouth by her sweet Mom or anyone else. For Wolfson to pretend he cared about Terri is an insult to those who know the truth. I'll never believe Terri didn't have awareness and didn't speak in her own way. My own sister-in-law was just like Terri, but with therapy managed to regain many functions.
From the article you quoted: ""He was the legal representative for Schiavo. He had a month to look through all of the legal and medical documents "of a woman I didn\'t know." He reported to Governor Jeb Bush and the courts as to whether or not Schiavo should have more swallowing tests administered. This would guide the governor in his decision-making about the case.""
What the heck does the last sentence in the above paragraph mean??? I thought Gov Bush had already decided that Terri should NOT be forced to die by having her feeding tube removed. Who is Wolfson trying to fool?? Terri was forbidden to have anything put in her mouth. Why? They knew the feeding tube was the key to killing her. If she was allowed swallow therapy - not just a swallow test, the feeding tube removal might have been meaningless. Those who wanted her to die knew she wasn't terminal. They knew the only way they could kill her would be by removing the feeding tube. But that wasn't enough for them. They also managed to forbid food and drink by mouth. Terri's own family was forbidden to give her anything by mouth.
One court doc I read submitted by Felos actually said something like this - Terri is terminal because if her feeding tube is removed, she will die. What hedious double speak. What insanity. All of us, including Felos would die without water. Dang! I've done it again... another rant.
Back to Cheryl - I'm so glad Cheryl's book is available. I'm planning to order it from her website. She's a wonderful person whom I had the pleasure of communicating with by email for the past few years. Cheryl is a hero, who fought so hard to save a precious, innocent woman from death. I would love to meet her someday and others whom I've come to love here on FR.
Like all who are on the front lines, Cheryl has seen and experienced much of the rough stuff. Still she hung in there.
BTW I had real problems with the delivery of the book by UPS after it had arrived in the area. The publishing company were super helpful in tracking it down and in getting UPS to do what it did not want to do.

Cheryl had top notch sources for her book and she was very meticulous about every detail.
