Well, one could say that you were hoodwinked. Who said that she had "0% chance" of waking? The physicians Mr. Schiavo hired? And "she herself claimed she wouldn't want to live that way"? According to whom? The only person who heard this "request" was her "husband" AFTER he milked the system, claiming the money he got would be for her rehabiliation. Now, if she had "0% chance" of waking, what was Mr. Schiavo going to rehabiliate?
And those of us who saw this for what it was, legally sanctioned murder, could say the same about those of you who wanted this woman "let go". You all wanted personal control of her life and death also, hence why you continuously try to convince yourselves that her murder was justified, thinking ONLY of yourselves ("I wouldn't want to live that way").
Just a thought.
This issue was never about life or death so to speak, as it was about proper legal authority over those decisions it these kinds of situations.
If your view is so obvious... just look at what you have to do to to arrive at your conclusions: the husband lied (because he must have), the autopsy was incorrect (because it must have been done by a quack), she didn't say she would want to live that way (because if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it fall, then it didn't fall), and she didn't wake up once in the decades because she was going to wake up later. Mental gymnastics an olympic sport? You'd get gold.
No. Scott Schiavo also heard this along with her best friend, Joan. All three testified to this under oath, in a court of law, under penalty of perjury, and subject to cross examination.
Their testimony presented the judge with "clear and convincing" evidence as to Terri's wishes, the Florida legal standard.
