Because the press doesn't want to let us know things like this, otherwise they can't sway public opinion to agree to things like death by dehydration. Sometimes I get a bit upset when I think of how much Terri could do, but it was not enough for the death doctors.
Despite these two contradictory opinions about her life support, state officials, attorneys for Haleigh, and a judge responsible for deciding her fate came to a quick consensus by October to remove all of Haleigh's life support.

June Maxam weighs in on the new PAC to counter the TerriPAC.
Greene, who claims that his group is a conservative political group, says he's founded a new political action committee called Terri's List in an effort to match the fundraising efforts of TerriPAC, the PAC created by Michael Schiavo. Greene has been described as a right-wing activist that launches political campaigns and fundraising appeals at the click of the "Send" key.

In a way it is scary to think how they would have continued and expanded their powers even more if the public like us hadn't started noticing and bringing it into the open.
As Mikey and the Spinsters tried to describe the "euphoria" enjoyed by Terri, supposedly feeling no pain and enjoying, to the pleasure of the ghouls, the fun of dying, the staff administered morphine in the last days.
You are absolutely right.
An ancient story, isn't it? Normally, we are sympathetic to our sisters and brothers in the human family. The criminal must blame the victim, just as the brutish step-parents did with Haleigh.
It's depressingly easy to do, too.
But judges are elected. By the people. Answerable to the people. How the likes of Greer & Co have stayed in office is beyond all comprehension.
After Schiavo got his money, he issued a "do not resuscitate" order for her and cut off all of Terri's rehab and therapy. Those horrible contractures she suffered should have been treated with range-of-motion therapy. Her urinary tract infection became chronic because it wasn't treated in the first place. Thirteen years of neglect and cruelty took their toll.
One cannot avoid the suspicion that Michael Schiavo spent all the years refighting the big argument they'd had the day before Terri's so-called "collapse." Or was he angry that she did not die when he punished her that night and choked her life away?
"I kept my promise" was surely his boast that he'd won the argument at last. Must have made him feel big to beat up on a helpless, disabled woman.
Yeah, after ten or eleven days of torture. He knew, he knew. He had watched her test positively for pain all over her body. He knew she would die in agony. Felos knew. Bushnell knew.
Some are, some aren't. Either way, once in power, they are subject to the Iron Law stated by Lord Acton: Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The DSS bureaucrats in this case are power-drunk. Imagine them ordering Haleigh's mother not to say a word about her own daughter's medical condition!
They could only siphon off pay themselves $3,827.06 minus expenses? The Schiavo boys will get tired of that soon enough.
You'd think that students have to prove that they are certifiably sociopathic before they can be admitted to medical or law school.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the advertising for the PAC handled by a Schiavo family member?
They'd better straighten themselves out, and quick. The FEC isn't some circuit court in Florida.
These are the exact words from Jeb Bush. Sorry bushbots, Jeb's part of the machine that would allow innocents to die. The money from Pinellas is just too sweet!
"The citizens of Pinellas County had their chance to vote for a new judge, but they did not. We must respect their choice."
The governor did nothing when Terri was being murdered except pretend to be doing something! I didn't ask for this latest quote - it was in my emails. His words coincide with the shredding of documents in Tallahassee too.
Wake up, people. Jeb changed.
STEVENS, BREYER, BOTH RETIRE!
Quote from Jeb: "The citizens of Pinellas County had their chance to vote for a new judge, but they did not. We must respect their choice."
60,000 voters voted against Greer but his opponent ran a campaign that was violation free. GREER CHEATED HIS SORRY BEHIND OFF AND THE PINELLAS GOP helped him. and the Sheriff, the Public Defender and the Prosecutor, and even Deborah Clarke, the Supervisor of Elections, the JQC and FEC looked the other way.
If you want corrupt, Pinellas County is where to look.
One last thing. Lest we forget: TERRI SCHINDLER Schiavo was MURDERED ON JEB BUSH'S WATCH in his state.
