Why hasn't Schaivo lost guardianship?
He shacked up with another woman and he has two kids.
Isn't there a conflict of interest here?
I'd like to know what's really driving this guy.
I want to know too. Why doesn't he just give the parents at least 6 months to pay themselves for all of her rehabilitation. If she doesn't show any difference at all after that time or any other improvements after tests are done, then allow her to go. This man is apparently hell bent on having her die ASAP without any more rehab at all.
Wrong. Rehab was attempted back in 1990. Doctors have said there is no further possible rehab, because her cerebral cortex is mostly replaced by spinal fluid. The brain doesn't spontaneously re-form.
The time-line is here:
http://www.terrisfight.org/timeline.html
1991
Apr - Terri's husband advised to move her to Gainesville Rehabilitation Center to receive advanced therapy to continue Terri's recovery.
Jul - Terri moved to Sable Palms Nursing Home
1993
Feb - Michael Schiavo denies recommended rehabilitation treatment.
Feb - Schiavo and Terri's parents have falling out regarding lack of therapy for Terri.
Nice "timeline" RIP, you get it off of Terri's Site? The same site that has been selectively editing court documents and reality?
Her parents moved in with them after Terri's accident and stayed for a couple of years. They only started making accusations when he refused to hand over some of the settlement money to them. Being a parent doesn't make you "good" and being a husband doesn't make you "bad".
Michael insisted on therapy and treatment for four years even though the doctors were telling him it was useless and that Terri would never recover. In 1994 he finally accepted the truth, that she would never recover. On the advice of her doctors he agreed to withhold treatment for infections and to put a DNR on her chart.
I admire him greatly for not selling his wife to the highest bidder and not leaving her at the mercy of her parents who have testified that they would NOT honor Terri's wishes even if she had told them directly and specifically that she didn't want a feeding-tube.
They don't care what Terri wanted. They care about what they want.
