"this film would so discredit the euthanasia movement that CBS (the only network still doing made-for-TV movies) won't touch it."

Sure they would, with Michael Schivao as the adoring and grieving husband who only wants to fulfill the expressed desires of his beloved wife (which of course will actually BE expressed by Terri's character in the movie), George Felos, as the idealistic champion of the "right to die" brigade and Judge Greer as the knight in shining armor who makes it all happen despite the unceasing obstacles thrown in the way by obsessive parents unwilling to allow their vegetative daughter die. Those who contend that Terri should not be killed will be portrayed in the same unfavorable light as the violent anti-abortion nuts who kill abortion doctors.

All that remains is for the saintly Judge Greer to ultimately prevail over the parents and the religious "nuts," and set Terri free to die blissfully in hubby's arms.

HINO collects a fat check and rides off into the sunset to live happily ever after with the mother of his children, or at least until she has an unfortunate accident.

Excuse me, but I think I've made myself sick!

Yes, that would be what CBS had in mind. This may be what is so motivating Schiavo to continue with his plans to kill her. He may have movie and book rights in hand if no specific insurance policy through Jodi's "company."
