I've posted that website, I've quoted from that website so many times here. But I've learned on Free Republic that
"there are none so blind as those who will not see." Most people here refuse to acknowledge the facts of this case. And that just marginalizes their side.

Yes, some people are running on pure emotion, it seems. In another thread, because I advocated complying with Terri's wishes, I was called a "prick." It's no big deal to me but it doesn't help the other side's argument at all. Here'a a CNN interview with Michael Schiavo from 2003 where he talks about Terri's wishes:

SCHIAVO: This is Terri's wish. And I'm going to follow that wish, if it's the last thing I can do for Terri. I love Terri deeply. And I'm going to follow it up for Terri.

KING: How old was she when this happened?

SCHIAVO: 25.

KING: A 25-year-old said to you, if I die, if I'm in this kind of state, most 25-year-olds wouldn't think of something like that?

SCHIAVO: It was a comment from watching certain programs. She said, we were watching some programs, and she says, I don't want anything artificial like that. I don't want any tubes. Don't let me live like that. I don't want to be a burden to anybody. She's also made comments to other people about different stories.

KING: OK.
SCHIAVO: And that has been -- that has been tried over and over and over again. And 19 judges have come to the conclusion that that was Terri's wish.

People here have called him a prick too, yet if you read the interview you can tell he's a loving, caring husband.
