Rest in peace, at last.

It's sad that it took the suffering of a human being to bring this issue
to the forefront. But this is an issue that should not die with Terri.
I
strongly believe that in the absence of a living will, and when a spouse
has moved on with his or her life (new girlfriend, etc), the parents
ought
to be given guardianship if they request it. Afterall, they brought her
into the world...and they have been given the decision as to when she
left
it.

Why didn't Michael Schiavo divorce his wife and sever his ties to her?
Perhaps he wanted the rights to the movie deal?

One of the issues I saw was that of the settlement that passed down, he
received 300k, and she got 700k that was administered by the court for her
ongoing care. When she died, the remainder would be inherited by
him..............of course, this many years later, there is not that much
left.

What sort of person would not allow the parents in the room as she was
dying? ....as has been reported........makes you wonder.

According to what I heard, he asked the parents to leave about ten minutes
before she died. Perhaps he just wanted to be alone with her, without the
ill
will of the parents permeating the room.

....and without witnesses as he placed a pillow over her face?
