Bobby Schindler spoke Thursday night in Massachusetts...

...............

Last night, the former high school teacher in Tampa, Fla., brought his story to the region, telling a crowd of nearly 800 at a Massachusetts Citizens for Life dinner held at Chez Josef that people need to realize there is a cultural war going on over right-to-life issues.

Schindler, 41, said in many cases, economics has become the driving factor in why people are in favor of euthanasia and letting disabled people like Schiavo, who was in a persistent vegetative state for years, die.

"It's a pre-Holocaust mentality," Schindler said. "Based on someone's disability, we are justifying and rationalizing it (letting people die) because we look at them as being too expensive to care for. That's extremely frightening, troubling and disturbing to me."

For Schindler, speaking before a crowd is no longer unique. Since his sister's death, he said he has traveled the world, visiting places like Italy, Ireland and England to speak on the issue.

Though Schindler said his trip to Western Massachusetts was planned before the case of Haleigh Poutre made headlines, he said he sees similarities between the two cases.

FLABOTA, commonly called "flabby disease" or "the flabs," is the saponification of brain tissue. In layman's terms, the brain slowly turns into blubber. Victims become increasingly delusional and eventually slip into a Persistent Vegetable Oil State. The most common symptom is the victim imagining himself to be a decent human being when in fact he is a trial lawyer.

"The law school is designed to help journalists, who are trying to provide accurate information to the public, but who may not have a legal background," said John T. Nockleby, Professor of Law and Director of the Loyola Law School's Civil Justice Program. "The goal is to enhance their understanding of the judicial branch."

The curriculum will focus on constitutional structure, criminal law, and civil law.
