Did you notice in that stpetetimes article, where they declared Terri Schiavo Day, there was a paragraph about "making donations"? Michael has always milked Terri's condition for MONEY.
I've wondered the same thing -- see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1012578/posts-- I posted the pictures of Terri before the '92 trial -- she's no different now than she was then! And see #25 from FL engineer -- the PDF on Terri's status pre-'92 trial.
