You guys need to call in a faith healer, or get over it.
The law has spoken. If you don't like it, work to change it.
Terry made her bed when she married that man, unless she had a living will, it was up to the husband.
The old family has no say in the matter.

Crazies like Bo gritz and Randall Terry will ruin our party. Stop the madness now.

>"The law has spoken."<

- Yes, and "the law has also *ignored*
> (why did Judge Greer ignore this testimony, below?)
This is what Schiavo's ex-girlfriend has stated (under oath) that he said about Terri:

[ex-girlfriend]-"Cindy Shook gave a deposition to the Schindlers in April 2001, in which she stated that when she asked Michael Schiavo about treatment for Terri he responded, "
"How the hell should I know? We never spoke about this. My God, I was only 25 years old. How the hell should I know? We were young. We never spoke of this."

Hmm-m-m-m-m...seem to remember a recent ruse suggested on DU is to infiltrate FR by laying in the lurch for a few weeks before springing to convince administrators of their legitimacy. Boondock_Saint a FR member only since late January!

What would you say if it was proven that her husband [in-name-only] put her in this condition to begin with? Wouldn't that cast doubt on his objectivity?

Its not that automatic.

Florida Law:

744.312 Considerations in appointment of guardian.--

(1) Subject to the provisions of subsection (4), the court may appoint any person who is fit and proper and qualified to act as guardian, whether related to the ward or not.

(2) The court shall give preference to the appointment of a person who:

(a) Is related by blood or marriage to the ward;

(b) Has educational, professional, or business experience relevant to the nature of the services sought to be provided;

(c) Has the capacity to manage the financial resources involved; or

(d) Has the ability to meet the requirements of the law and the unique needs of the individual case.

Terry made her bed when she married that man

What a heartless thing to say.

Ha, the Republicans are in the process of screwing themselves for the 2008 election. But, it's people like yourself who looooove to blame the "religious fanatics."

Obviously you know as much about the law as you know about morals. Murder is not legal or moral. Not even in Florida. I'd be more specific, but I don't want to go too fast for you. This has only been in your face for about a year and a half. In all that time, you haven't managed to learn anything about it. Now you jump in here complaining because we've all formed an opinion based on facts that are too complicated for you. We're taking up precious bandwidth that would be better spent on something important like "Sports Heroes on Strike." You know, something that you can follow. Maybe you should just stick to inane topics, and leave this topic to the grown ups.
