"Traded on"? Don't twist words. The Schindlers were fighting to save Terri's life. For this they deserve nothing but praise, including yours. If it were your daughter, would you consider it "trading" to raise funds to save her? Of course not. Would it be "trading" to raise funds for your daughter's memorial foundation? Of course not. So use the same principle when you speak of the Schindlers.
I hardly need remind you that Michael Schiavo spent nearly half a million dollars of Terri's money to hire lawyers to kill her. The money was taken from funds held in trust for Terri's therapy. The Schindlers had no such treasure. They raised such funds as they could to save Terri's life. It was the right thing to do. It's just too bad that despite their efforts, Terri was put to death.
Absolutely! What you fail to mention is that all the kind people who already gave are now subjected to any telemarketer who pays the Schindlers' price. Schindlers got the money upfront from the donors to save their daughter, they then sold off the names in an effort to squeeze a little more out of the them. Now that Terri is gone it's pure scam. Seen any tax returns from the Schindlers? Any accounting on the foundation finances?
