It didn't matter to me either. Terri was a living human being and that was all that mattered to me. I wouldn't starve and dehydrate an animal much less a human being.
I see.
Michael and Greer didn't really want to know how Terri was doing.
Since I'm trying to fill out these living will papers today, perhaps other Freepers could advise me. How many of you have directed that you want to live as long as possible, with all possible treatments, in the event that you become as disabled as Terri Schiavo? What guides your thinking on this?
One of Terri's closest friend stated, that she and Terri were looking for an apartment, even discussed furniture, because Terri was planning to leave MS, because he was controlling and abusive.
THEN she suddenly collapsed.
Maybe she told MS that she was going to leave him, and he went into a rage and tried to kill her, but botched it, but then he turned it into a gold mine, and killed her later.
A nurse also testified that when MS visited Terri, he closed the door, and Terri was always in worse shape, after he left, she found insulin bottles in her waste basket, when they measured her glucose, it was way below normal -- and it appeared that MS gave Terri insulin shots, trying to induce coma and death. By this time MS was a nurse, so he had access to stuff like that and knew the consequences.
What we see here is most likely a murder, that MS not only got away with, but was approved by a judge. Scott Peterson wishes he had thought of this.
There is no reason to do a test if you already know the result. Unless the test was to proove that she was not in pvs then why do it? In court, the Schindlers even admitted under oath that they knew Terri was in pvs. So what is the test for those of us like you who if the result is different than what you want will just ignore it and point to as another part of the conspiracy.
No, I believe if you go back and check you will see that person was minimally conscious. No one who was in true pvs ever came back.
How many people did Cranford mis-diagnose as being PVS, and how many people did Cranford correctly diagnose as being PVS?
Even if he wasn't trying to kill her, his actions may have been the cause of her injuries. He was much bigger than Terri.
I don't discount the possibility of that for a minute but my mind is running wild now. Does anybody have evidence that Terri had life insurance before the original "collapse" happened in 1990? I know she worked for Prudential so its likely she had a policy with them as an employee. Could the original "collapse" have been an attempt to murder her for money that failed?
While this again shows how a flawed law can be abused - it really points out why the husband and Felos INSISTED that Terri was PVS - because otherwise they had no law to protect them from murdering her.
And .. I do not fault Jeb for signing it, even though he wrongly assumed that dedicated professional medical personnel would not use the PVS designation as a method to kill innocent people.
Perhaps it's time for Christians everywhere to admit that SOME MEDICAL PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A REGARD FOR LIFE. We must stop being so naive.
This would be the only scenario I could see.
Working for an insurance co. it is likely she did buy a policy, maybe 2. One on her and one on MS. Even if MS and Jodi, somehow forged a policy after her collapse, with all the attention this case has garnered, they would never try and cash it. There would be too many red flags.
So if there is any insurance money to be had, it would have to be prior to he collapse.
As I said to another poster - this law points up why Felos was so adamant about Terri being PVS - otherwise they had no LEGAL right to murder her.
WOW!!
That case is similar.
Unbelievable the different outcome...it all depends on the judge.
Now that is scarier than anything when it comes to someones life.
Have you read about the "Hugh Finn" or "Marjorie Nighbert" cases? They're enlightening too.
Please ping me with any new Terri information.
But
People who have been misdiagnosed as PVS have come back.
Did you even read the article posted at the beginning of this thread?
I hope I do this right.
Please read this before signing anything

They mispelled the name of the Jerger and Centonze InsurNace [sic] Agency that Michael and the Jergers are directors of.
I wonder if Terri's policy isn't hidden under some other "mispelling."
