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?

The poor woman died when her brain was deprived of blood and oxygen, 15
years ago.

Now her animated corpse has followed.

The only positive thing to emerge from this macabre tragedy is that the
interest in living wills and appointing attorneys-in-fact to make
medical decisions when incapacitated has never been higher. Terri
Schiavo accomplished more good for society in general after she was
brain dead than many people will ever do while living.

And this has what to do with boating?

That's right...nothing...

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?

Most probably an attendant from the hospice was there. I doubt if a pillow was
necessary.
