But Terri's parents aren't responsible for her medical bills. Her husband is. The right to life money I assume is being used for the parent's legal case.

What if this woman (who really has suffered long enough) died of say, a heart attack or complications due to a massive stroke tomorrow. Then what?

ETA,
I didn't read the entire thread so if someone already mentioned this, sorry.

She isnt/wont suffer because the part of her brain that feels pain died along with her emotions, memories, etc.

Also, let her go in peace.

The congress is playing with fire here, and are really beginning to look liek extreemists. They complain about activist judges, and they are acting like an activist congress.

All these life activists are morons. Can they honestly look at her & say to themselves, if I become like that, let me stay a vegetable too? Or would they rather be let go to enter the afterlife wherever that may be?

EDIT: Her husband is the one paying the bills. He used the 1.8 million he got in a malpractice settlement to pay the bills. I'm assuming her parents are using their money for the legal case.

Haha, this might be ZTAngel's biggest thread ever. :D

The thing I think is the most ironic about all this is she had the heart attack most likely from imbalence of potassium comming from anorexia.

it's time for this to end...
If she's alive, show us something.
If not, time for her to go to the light.

I really want to see an over-hyped interview with Michael Schiavo's "longtime girlfriend." I think it would be best with Katie Couric, since she was widowed fairly young and tragically. I want her to ask questions like:

* "Are you happy knowing your boyfriend had to kill his wife to marry you?"
* "Didn't it bother you at all that this man was cheating on his hospitalized wife? What do you think he will do if you become ill?"
* "And what are you doing with Terri's settlement money now that it legally belongs to you and Michael?"
* "Do you really think Michael had Terri's best interests in mind?"
* "How are you going to explain to your children that their father had to kill his first wife in order to marry you, X years after the oldest was born?"

I can understanding wanting to kill someone to get them out of the way. I can't understand wanting to be married to someone who killed his wife.

Are you on drugs? I think you posted this in the wrong thread. This post relates better to the Amber Frey / Scott Peterson discussion.

I knew this stuff sounded like something I'd heard recently.

Well, it's a little extreme, but it makes sense. Terri's husband has a long-time girlfriend w/ whom he's had children.

From the article:
Does this mean she's been kept alive w/ a feeding tube for the past decade? I've been hearing about this recently, but I'm not really sure how it all started.

I think it's really sad that it looks like her husband wants her dead so he can marry his mistress

Yes without the feeding tube, she would have passed 15 years ago when this happened. She can not swallow.

You know this argument about Michael's new family has really nothing to do with the medical treatment of Terri. Glad some of you are pissed he decided to move on after she was declared "dead" years ago. Fulfillling his wife's final wishes is all that's delaying this situation. You want to villify the man for continuing to live, fine but I think he is just trying to do the right thing despite his in-laws smear campaign.

And since we are playing dirty politics, why not look into Terri's past relationship with her parents. This disorder of hers developed way before she married Michael. Maybe her family life and home isn't as perfect as you all think. The media is afraid to be equal with its coverage of them because it would just look so insensitive to attack these poor defenseless parents now, wouldn't it?

I don't know any more than what the courts know. No evidence of any wrongdoing on Michael's part and no reason to believe she will recover from this permanent vegetative state. Quit your right-to-life whining and let this woman die with dignity (whatever little is remaining).
