Just a bit of info for anyone who is new here which only scratches the surface:
Michael Schiavo is a sadist who euthanized Terri's two cats, and far worse, admitted on the Larry King show that he had his parents starved to death when they were sick with cancer, etc., and abused Terri before the collapse, and continues to abuse her. He wouldn't allow her to have therapy to talk (she could say a few words), he wouldn't allow her to have therapy to swallow better (she COULD swallow soft foods), he turned her family's pictures around in her room, wouldn't allow her to go outside for some fresh air, wouldn't allow sunlight in her room, wouldn't allow her see the cute little dogs that are brought around to cheer patients, wouldn't allow her teeth to be brushed, etc.

CALLER: Yes. Does it bother you that the death is so slow? Maybe Dr. Kevorkian-style would be a faster, more peaceful way?
SCHIAVO: Removing somebody's feeding is very painless. It is a very easy way to die. Probably the second better way to die, being the first being an aneurysm.
And it doesn't bother me at all. I've seen it happen.
-->I had to do it with my own parents.
You're preaching to the choir. I've stated the same facts to posters many times, as we all have. However I forgot about what MS did to his own parents. Starvation and dehydration is a peaceful way to die? Suuuure it is. Try going without food and water for say 12 hours, and tell me how good it feels. I wouldn't be able to do it.
