"Why can't he get a divorce but give up custody to her parents, who obviously want to see her live?"

He doesn't want to divorce her. He would be liable for splitting up whatever "assets" that were there during the marriage, including any he has gained while Terri has been incapacitated. Then there's the alimony he'd have to pay, too. All that, plus Terri would continue to live! If she ever gets any better, she might be able to tell what really happened that night she collapsed. He also had a terrible falling out with Terri's family after they found out what kind of son-in-law he really was. He doesn't want them to get any satisfaction from knowing that justice was served for Terri. No, he'd rather condemn her to a death by dehydration and starvation than have ANY of these alternatives!

To add further insult to injury, he already has another "wife" with whom he has fathered two children, one already here and the other on the way. This would totally put him in a financial bind, I'm sure. Paying the consequences for poor choices just isn't up his alley. Lovely, thoughtful guy, isn't he? Should be nominated for "Husband of the Year" (sarcasm)!

Isn't it ironic that it was the Schindlers who brought Michael Schiavo to FL with them!

Try to watch The Factor/Bill O' Reilly tonight. He got a tip from a freeper and he's covering Howard Dean tonight, proving that our emails are being read. Howard Dean is pro-euthanasia and that's just the beginning.

Sometimes I think O' Reilly takes an adversarial position to play devil's advocate. At least The Factor follows up on leads.
