"....if anybody has seen a video of Schiavo available on "Terrisfight.com", the video shows they will see that she is no way unconscious. An unconscious person is utterly unreactive – in fact that’s how it’s basically defined in Florida law."

I haven't seen the videos, but I tend to be somewhat skeptical of video evidence in such cases because there's no way to know what has ended up "on the cutting room floor".

That having been said, however, I find the behavior of those seeking Terri's elimination to be rather interesting. I'm curious, though, how the legalities of divorce would work in a case like this.

If Terri dies while still married to Mr. Schiavo, I think it's pretty clear that her husband inherits all the joint property. What happens if he divorces her first?

Playing devil's advocate here (and I'd welcome people explaining thoroughly why this does not apply) is it possible that Mr. Schiavo and/or his attourney perceives that Terri's family wants to snatch up Terri's portion of Mr. and Mrs. Schiavo's property? It would seem that if Mr. Schiavo were to divorce Terri, then a court would award her half of their combined wealth, and inheritance rules would hand it off to Terri's kin.

There are a number of scenarios I can see here:

Terri's family is using Terri as a pawn to get their hands on her money; from Mr. Schiavo's point of view, he was dealt a cruel blow by the loss of his wife, and is trying to get his life back together.
Terri's family has Terri's best interests at heart, but Mr. Schiavo doesn't trust them; he was dealt a cruel blow by the loss of his wife, and the family is trying to make it worse by taking half the wealth he and Terri had worked to build.
Terri's family and husband would both have Terri's best interest at heart, except that the husband's lawyer has manipulated him into thinking the family is out to grab half the marital assets; consequently he has put Mr. Schiavo into a very bad position where he cannot at this point divorce Terri without losing half the assets.
Terri's family has her best interests at heart, and the husband is a murderous SOB who wanted her dead even before her initial collapse.

Certainly the facts fit #4 very well; do they fit any of the others?

As my memory serves me, the FR Terri threads contain input about the Schindler family offering Terri's adulterous husband the balance of her malpractice award if only he would resign his guardian status. You know of course, he's the guy that pulled on the heart strings of the malpractice jury about his intention to become a nurse and care for his beloved for the rest of his life, or some similar lie.

He refused that offer.

He also refused to divorce Terri, because he says he is compelled to fulfill her wish to die rather than live in her alleged vegetative state - an opinion medical professionals do not share.

In brief, he wants her dead......while a whole host of medical professionals have sworn in court affidavits to Terri's apparent capability to respond to speech and oral feeding therapy. Not one nickle has been expended for therapy.

You write of things curious in this drama.

I find most dramatic the epiphany of Mr. Schiavo, and members of the Schiavo family about Terri allegedly telling them - and no member of her family - of her desire to forgo prolonging her life through artificial means. The kicker here is the revelation came only after winning the malpractice award.

How much money do you suppose would have been awarded had this devoted husband told the jury of Terri's alleged desire to die if she were ever in what the court has concluded - medical testimony to the contrary notwithstanding - is a vegetative state?

Again, in the realm of things curious, it is remarkable how the death makers in Florida ( the 'system' - as good 'ole Jeb calls it ) do not like the light of day on their moonlight hour (spelled b-a-c-k-r-o-o-m) gravemaking.

From this vantage point, one hell of a cash cow is going to be shut down if the New Jersey legal team has it's way.

My prayer is God will speak through them with such power and authority on the 10th of October, that it will cause the 'system' in the Death 'r Us state to come crashing to the ground as swiftly as a bolt of lightning from the Heavens.

And all will come to praise the glory of His presence in a reborn 'Sunshine' state.
