And while he has the right to make these decisions, it floors me to see why he even cares anymore if he doesn’t love her.

Life is not always black and white.

And while I am not an advocate of prolonging the life of someone who is supposedly “brain dead”, there is just something really wrong about her husband. He is a creep and loser. And until more questions are answered, I think it would be good to reinsert the tube so that questions can be answered. To me, he is trying to hide something.

“$250,000 bounty on the head of Michael Schiavo and a $50,000 bounty on the head of judge. What I want to know is: how does a retarded drunk redneck have $275,000?”

Mark,
$250 K plus $50K equals more than $275k

…. retarded druken redneck who knows addition

The Catholic Church lifted the cremation ban in 1963.

The reports of spousal abuse have not been shown to be anything more than speculation. Yeah, he seems shady to me too, and if I were supreme ruler of the world, I’d have everyone who seemed “shady” subject to an investigation, but in this case I really don’t think there is enough evidence to warrant it.

there is some dispute among doctors as to whether her current state was due to bulemia. Some of the things I’ve read says that she was bulemic because Michael Shiavo was abusive and that she may have been abused/choked. Also, doctors have said that certain enzymes would have been released into her blood-stream if she had a heart-attack and those enzymes weren’t present. Why has she not been allowed to be examined in all of these years? I agree with you – Michael Shiavo does have guardianship over her. I think for me, that’s the sad part. I read much of the court testimony myself and he just seems a little suspect in his actions.

As a small example – why not allow her to take communion since she is on her death-bed? That is a pretty small token to grant her parents, isn’t it? Also, why does he want her cremated versus burial? Terrie and her family are Catholic, and cremation goes against Christian doctrine. Is it a powerplay for him?

Something about the husband just seems strange in all of this.

I’d advise everyone to create a living will.

People who oppose the removal of Terri’s feeding tube and who advocate decisions from judges that would directly contradict the law are ideologues. They don’t care what the law says, they want the judge to rule in favor of their ideology.

And yes people do stupid stuff all the time and most of them pays for it as well. So in the case with Terri.

Unfortunately this case has become a tool for people that want to promote themselves. Not everyone that opposes the feeding tube removal have Terris best intrest in mind… and vice versa.
Unfortunately they probably could care less what happens to her.

The decision by the courts to remove Terri’s feeding tube is probably legal, and yes I am uncomfartable with congress intervening, but it’s idiotic to call people who oppose removing Terri’s feeding tube “ideologues”. Get a damn grip.
