I may be mistaken, but I'm recalling that when Michael petitioned Greer to fire the state appointed guardian, in late 1993, one of the issues brought up by the state guardian was the failure of Michael to pay for therapy and it had been stopped. This was one of the falling out factors soon after the state guardian was removed, with the Schindlers and Michael since they had signed on to having Michael appointed the guardian!

We could be wrong. Maybe the article was inaccurate. But if it's correct, then she probably wasn't making the progress her family had hoped for during that time.

You have been as well, MHG. Whether or not people find it believable or noteworthy, it's worth taking a look.

And I must confess, there's something about this situation, above and beyond the Michael Shiavo hustler theory and this total human disaster, that doesn't sit very well with me. I don't know what it is yet. There's a whole lot of conflicting information, as Spyder pointed out.

As to keeping Terri's brain scans restricted, I assume some legal reason, I just want it spelled out.

For all I know, no brain scans will surface. Judge Greer might seal the record.

I think I know what it is that still bothers you. You believe in your heart in the sanctity of life above the quality of life, because as long as there is life, there are possibilities, human and divine.

The reason is becuase her "guardian" Michael Schiavo wants it that way. He has alot to hide.

I haven't formed a firm opinion of Mr. Schiavo's character, just have a bias against him at this point.

More importantly, I don't see a compelling reason to deny the Schindlers the opportunity to care for Terri.

Another point: I wonder about Florida's adultery laws, and if Mr. Sciavo has violated them, and if that violation would nullify his guardian status. Surely the Schindlers have looked into this - I wonder what they found.

Michael Schiavo has also wants Terri to be cremented after she dies. He wants no autopsy performed. This man has much to hide.

Very possible.

Yes, and it has an double indemnity clause for paying double if death is by accident. However, since Michael Schiavo is in an adulterous relationship fathering children with another woman, it is questionable that the ghoul will receive a cent upon Terri's death!

Is that true? I've never heard of an "adultery" clause in a life insurance policy. However, if MS were to divorce Terri as her parent's have requested, then he may not be entitled to the life insurance benefits. In any case, the possibility of another large infusion of ca$h via insurance benefits is certainly a compelling reason to say that MS does not have Terri's best interests in mind.

Bigamy may preclude his ability to collect on killing Terri. Insurance companies are tough to get money out of if they believe the law is on their side!

At least 12 dozen prominent doctors have said that Terri Schiavo is NOT in a persistent vegetative state and could recover greatly with regular therapy. Also one nurse has stated she has heard Terri speak "help me" and "momma" on numerous occasions.

Michael Schiavo knows that if Terri gets the proper medical care she may be able to tell the world that he is the one who put her in that state. Also, he has a life insurance policy on her that he wants to collect on.

Unfortunately common law marriages that were not entered into before 1968 are illegal in the state of Florida.

So, besides breaking the law of fealty, he is breaking a bigamy statute?

After reading this story you have posted I am more enraged then ever at this POS. If this animal succeeds in killing Terri, he's a walking dead man.



I sure hope so.

No, common law marriages are not recognized in Florida if they were not established BEFORE 1968. He can't be charged with bigamy. If he lived in Georgia with this girl then after 7 years they would have had a common law marriage. He has been with her for seven years so in at least one state, and I think at least 13 others, they would be considered married, but not in Florida.

Okay, then, we'd have to totally discount the article that started this thread, then because it said "7 years ago."

Thank you so much for sharing the links with us, huck

Trust whom you choose but don't ping me to anything to do with the Soros-teat-sucker-ghouls in the future.

Evil pollutes and I want to choose the times I enter a conversation with it.

This man helped his own mother to die and likes Strela. That's enough of a red flag for me.

""What's happening here is just a part of a larger effort to class persons with severe cognitive disabilities as non-persons."

This is the single most important statement in this piece and one that all Americans should read and re-read. If you know a disabled person, someday you will look back on this day and remember it.

They have redefined life and now are redefining death.
