Once again she is not a vegetable. The medical diagnosis of PVS is being debate(which is a big part of the Congressional Act to get de novo trial, so that modern medical tests can be used to determine her exact condition)
Your persistent calling her a vegetable is way more insulting then anything that I have said to you.
Once again if you understand anything about the court system,once the trial judge created the factual record(ie the facts,like her statements, who to believe. the conflict of interest, her condition) all the appellate courts can do is review where Greer made mistakes of law not mistakes of fact. Even if they find that his ruling on the facts are wrong there is nothing they can do it is outside their jurisdiction,So it is not a conspiracy.
Once again, she is not being kept alive artificially,she is being denied food and water that she can swallow just like you.The feeding tube she had was in because it is faster and easier for the staff to do daily feedings.
So stop misrepresenting the facts.
Finally, on the subject of the financial gains the husband stands to get,the truth of the matter is no one knows because Terri's records are sealed. The amount left from the medical settlement is unknown.What also is unknown is if there is a life insurance on Terri's life,because that is also under the seal order.
So there is definitely a financial component.
Personnally,I believe that if he is removed as guardian he stands to have a big lawsuit against him for all the money that did not go to Terri's rehabilitation which has been stopped in '94.(her wheelchair broke in 1999,Schiavo refused to replce it)
Finally i will call anybody evil and sadistic that orders and ensures that a defenseless innocent woman is being starved to death.
And I will fight those who think they can sit in judgement of the value of one human life over another.

I agree. What frustrates me is that there seems to be overwhelming anecdotal evidence of Terri's present state of awareness. Even if you don't believe Terri's parents or siblings or best friends, surely you will believe a priest??? I saw a priest that has spent some time with her recently who said that she recognizes him and that she closes her eyes during prayer and re-opens them when prayer is through. Are we to believe the priest is part of this cabal of liars? The reality here is that SOMEONE is not telling the truth. Either it is Michael Schiavo and his brother and sister-in-law (and his doctors who may not be lying but who may be a little sloppy in their diagnosis of PVS based upon a CAT scan) or it is a MYRIAD of people on the Schindler side... parents, siblings, just about all of Terri's friends growing up, the Schindler's doctors (many of them), priests. In such cases the liars tend to be the smaller group of people.
