MS's motives for wanting her to die are purely speculative but off the top of my head I can think of a few - she is in the way of his wannabe 2nd wife. Also, to him, Terri is not the same Terri he married and he may not have had the real love required to take care of her. I think too it was the money in the beginning. I think he underestimated the public outcry for Terry.

Do you think that Ralph Nadar is a religion Zealot or Lanny Davis, David Bois (atty for Gore) or even Jessie Jackson?

Like I said, what Terri's wish is unknown. A man that lives with another woman and has children with her, is not in a position to determine whether or not his PVS or minimally conscious wife lives or dies.

I will freely admit that I am a Newbie and a Johnny come lately to the Terri Schiavo debate, but it would seem that a divorce would solve your first speculation. I guess the larger question is who should be able to make this decision for Terri? Assuming (and I know it is a BIG assumption, which many here are unwilling to make) that Terri did express a desire not to live as she currently is living to Michael, should he not be the person to now make that decision for her? What about his current situation (another woman and kids) changes his right to make the decision, if that is what Terri expressed to him as what she wanted. Is it because his current situation creates a suspicion of ulterior motive, (even if one does not exist)?
