The president, for one, said "millions of Americans are saddened" by Schiavo's death. The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak, he added. In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in favor of life.

Parents' adviser issues bitter denunciation outside hospice

Michael Schiavos heartless cruelty in insisting that his wifes feeding tube be removed so she would die continued to the end of her life as he refused to let the womans parents be with her at the end, said the Rev. Frank Pavone.
Pavone said Mary and Bob Schindler, who had battled Michael Schiavo for years to keep their daughter's feeding tube in place, wanted to be with their daughter when she died. They were with Terri Schiavo until 10 to 15 minutes before her death, but were then asked to leave, Pavone said.
"And so his heartless cruelty continues until this very last moment, he said.
This is not only a death, with all the sadness that brings, but this is a killing, and for that we not only grieve that Terri has passed but we grieve that our nation has allowed such an atrocity as this and we pray that it will never happen again, the priest added.
