TAMPA - Terri Schiavo's feeding tube could be pulled a week from Friday. Her husband Michael has fought a long legal battle to have it removed from his brain-damaged wife, saying she wouldn't want to live in a vegetative state.
In a rare interview, Mr. Schiavo spoke to M.J. on WFLZ radio Friday morning about the government's attempts to step into the case.
"What I'd like to talk about, and I need to let everybody know, is that big brother is going to start making your decisions: whether you die or not now. And people need to start speaking up, because is going to get into your personal, private lives and they're going to force you to have feeding tubes placed into your body, against your will, whether you want one or not," Schiavo said.
Action News anchor Brendan McLaughlin spoke to Michael Schiavo's brother on Friday, his first public interview ever. He responded to the million-dollar offer from a California businessman for Michael to give up Terri's guardianship.
"If that man is serious, what he ought to do, is take that million dollars and educate people that you need to have a living will," Brian Schiavo suggested.
You can hear the rest of Brian Schiavo's interview, and much more on the Terri Schiavo case, on Flashpoint this Sunday morning at 11.
I love your tag line!
I think you are right! I think the lady probably spends half her life with bruises, probably a few gut shots where they won't show and probably both children are abused as well.
People who abuse animals, abuse people and are most frequently abused themselves (learned behavior). But like the man said, a killer will always be a killer! I think this applies to GREER, MICHAEL AND FELOS.
Incidentally, I haven't seen a film with Jane Fonda for 40 years, I can do the same with Cruise, Kidman, and Travolta and if I can find that list, the rest of those whose sole purpose in this life is money. Have a friend like that, if the horse doesn't reproduce every year its dead, if the dog is 10 and can't produce puppies any more (despite 9 litters), she's dead, I keep wondering what is going to happen when his wife goes through menopause, will she be dead too?
