Hi, Hildy, remember me? I'm one of the Freepers who on earlier threads asked questions of you that you never responded to. Here's food for thought, Hildy.

Michael says he doing all this out of love for his wife. Out of his commitment to his marriage vows with Terri. If that's true, then how does he think his marriage vows to Terri included dating other women within a year of her collapse, bringing these other women to visit Terri in the care facility where she lived, moving in with another woman 5 years after her collapse, and fathering two children by this same woman? If Michael knew that Terri didn't want to have any tubes, why on earth did he allow one to be inserted in the first place?

Now that's a man with high regard for his marital vows! Oh, there's more, Hildy. If he respected Terri as much as he says he does, why on earth did he not allow for her to receive viaticum when she was already in the starving, dehydration death process. It's Terri's right to receive a final communion as a Catholic. He denied her that Sacrament. In case you're not versed with Catholic ways, the Eucharist is not considered to be food by the Church.

Why don't you see the obvious? I don't have to pass judgement on this man. His actions contradict his words.

I'm just trying to answer your question: His belief is that she's already dead. If he allowed last rites, he'd be admitting that she's still alive.

I don't see anything wrong with Mr. Schiavo going on with his life.
