Signed and bumped! Here is the background information on Terri. If her husband gets away with this, that would be murder, pure and simple.
Terri was 26 years old when she suffered brain damage from a sudden collapse. Terri receives her food and water by means of a food tube, commonly referred to as a "straw." Terris other bodily functions are physically stable. Terri smiles, laughs and cries. Terri recognizes voices and responds. At times, she vocalizes sounds as if she is trying to speak. Terri is not a brain dead vegetable as characterized by her husband and legal guardian, Michael Schiavo nor a houseplant as implied by his attorney. Terri is not on a respirator or any artificial life support. She is a living human being and needs to be granted an opportunity to recover. Terri has not had any progressive rehabilitation or arousal therapy in more than ten years.
In a trial initiated by Michael Schiavo, Circuit Court Judge, George W. Greer, issued a verdict delivered on February 11, 2000. Judge Greer granted authorization to discontinue Terris feeding tube. Judge Greers verdict will cause Terri to die in 10 to 14 days. Terris death will be by painful starvation.
In a malpractice lawsuit, Terris husband personally received over $300,000 for his loss of consortium. Terri was awarded $750,000 from this suit and an additional $250,000 from a separate malpractice lawsuit. The money was awarded to Terri for her care and rehabilitation and to be placed in a Medical Trust Fund. Terris husband received his personal award money and Terris medical fund money in early 1993. From the date he received the award money in 1993, Michael Schiavo has denied Terri any rehabilitation treatment. Michael Schiavo has confined Terri to a nursing home (currently, Terri is in a Hospice facility) where she is 'maintained.'
Her husband has directed that Terri only be sustained in a nursing home which is contrary to the intent of the award money. Michael Schiavo has on two occasions unsuccessfully attempted to end Terris life by instructing her caretakers not to medicate Terri for potentially fatal infections. The first occasion occurred less than nine months after her husband received the malpractice award money.
- Terri has no will. Should Terri die, her husband will inherit what is left of Terris $750,000 medical fund.
- Terris husband lives in a house with Jodi Centonze. He openly admits that he has been engaged to this women for over six years, have recently given birth to a baby girl, and plans to marry her when Terri is no longer alive.
- Since receiving the award money in 1993, her husband has ceased and prohibited any new or aggressive treatment for Terri. He has only maintained Terri at a nursing home (currently, Terri is in a Hospice facility). He has totally ignored or denied rehabilitation therapy that could possibly assist Terris recovery.
- Since 1993, Terris husband has consistently and deliberately withheld all medical information and data from Terris family. Over the past eight years he has ordered Terris caretakers not to reveal any medical or neurological information
- Michael Schiavo will not permit any doctor to examine Terri other than the doctors he selects.
- As Terris legal guardian, her husband has used her medical fund money to offset the legal costs when his guardianship of Terri was initially challenged and to pay the current legal costs to have Terris life ended.
- Terri responds regularly to the presence of her parents and friends. Her husband's doctors testified Terri's cognizant responses to Terris parents and friends are simply a reflex action.

I have some words, but they are unprintable on a family website. May God protect that poor child from that ruthless man and his "fiance".
