I consider the capability to "choose" to end my own life to be ultimate freedom of choice we as a sentient species possess. Its unfortunate that just because the "majority" "think" you must be ill to desire it, and therefore have made it unavaliable...

well said my friend...well said

perhaps maybe you people should look more into the case. This is not about her desire to die. Her husband who won a million dollar lawsuit in her name promised that he would look after her and that a portion of the money would be put towards her rehabilitation, and pay for her care. Not one penny has gone to her. Her husband wants her to die so that he has the money to himself period. The parents want her kept alive, and she herself has indicated that she wants to stay alive. She can communicate.

What is really pathetic is that all these people who are against capitol punishment, and speak about the cuelty of our justice system handing out death sentences to people who commint crimes worthy of that punishment sit idely by while the courts commit murder so that some worthless bastard can keep his money.

Who says whe wants to die? If the parents are willing to foot the medical bills and take care of her then doen't he just walk away? He has no ties with her, he is already engaged to a woman who has bore him a child, so why not let the parents take care of her?

It's all about the fact he wants to keep the moeny to himself.

Oh and before you start to think otherwise...remember this could be you at any given time, think about how you would want to be treated.

Oh yes, you may also want to read up on what an agonizing death starvation and dehydration is, is that how you want to go?

Ah...so that's what it's about? the bastard is after her money and she wants to live? If that's the case and if she wants to live, then it's a whole other story.

But I still stand by my statement that a person who is in this type of situation, should be allowed to end their own life if they wish.

According to the website, the money is nearly all gone (Legal costs), so it is not for the money.

In Summary, Terri has received an aggregate sum of $1,590,000.00. Nonetheless, in June of 1993, the asset balance in Terri?s account was reduced to $761, 507.50, as reported by Michael Schiavo. Schiavo's attorney, however, has sealed the accounting, which would disclose how Terri's account was depleted by approximately $828,492.50, (52%) in only 1 year and 6 months.

Hes been trying to off her since 1993. On top of that he is depleting HER medical funds while doing it. The money he is paying to his lawyers is coming directly from the medical fund, thats why its so low. No where does he explain where around $850,000 of the medical fund went, or his $600,000 he was given went.

This guy is sick. IMHO her parents should have control over her now. Ever since he won a settlement he has tried everything in his power to kill her. Including twice within a year of the judgement.

November 1992 ? In a highly emotional trial, Michael Schiavo implored the jury to award money for his wife?s future medical and neurological care. Actual excerpts from the malpractice trial transcript reveal Michael Schiavo?s sworn testimony as he responded to his attorney's question. (It is important to note that Terri?s alleged wishes stating, "she wouldn?t want to live this way," are never mentioned by her husband at the 1992 malpractice trial).

Q: Why did you want to learn to be a nurse?
Michael Schiavo: Because I enjoy it and I want to learn more how to take care of Terri.

Q: You're a young man. Your life is ahead of you. When you look up the road, what do you see for yourself?
Michael Schiavo: See myself hopefully finishing school and taking care of my wife.

Q: Where do you want to take care of your wife?
Michael Schiavo: I want to bring her home.

Q: If you had the resources available to you, if you had the equipment and the people, would you do that?
Michael Schiavo: Yes, I would, in a heartbeat.

Q: How do you feel about being married to Terri now?
Michael Schiavo: I feel wonderful. She's my life and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I believe in my wedding vows.

Q: You believe in your wedding vows, what do you mean by that?
Michael Schiavo: I believe in the vows I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that.

Summer 1993 ? Michael Schiavo dramatically demonstrates his interpretation of what his trial testimony "taking care of," really means. Less than a year after the medical malpractice jury award, Schiavo makes his first of two attempts to end his wife?s life. Bear in mind, Michael Schiavo is the inheritor of Terri's medical fund.

Michael Schiavo, under oath, in a November 1993 deposition, admits that he knew Terri would die when he instructed Terri?s caretakers not to medicate Terri with antibiotics for a potentially fatal infection. He also instructs Terri?s caretakers "not to resuscitate" should Terri require any life saving action.

After watching the videos on her parents website - what her husband wants to do IS WRONG.

I'm glad other people know the facts behind the case too. There is definitely a conflict of interest with her husband wanting to have the feeding tube removed.

EDIT: Possibly more conflict of interest?

But, go to her parents website and watch her home videos. It's obvious that she's not the vegetable that media is making her out to be.
