Wow! Carl Levin is Michael Schiavo's doctor???
Michael Schaivo should thank his lucky stars that I or someone like me is not Terri's father or brother.
That is a great cartoon.
Dude, that is priceless. Take a C-Span break ;)
LOL!
Who can "order" an autopsy on Terri Shaivo after she passes? If there is proof that she was not in a persistent vegetative state or proof that her husband caused her "heart attack," how about her husband being charged with murder?
So why on Earth does he refuse to allow CFS to take custody of Terri? What's his payoff?
My thoughts as well.
If she were my daughter - this mom would be going after someone with a fire arm. I honestly don't know whether my first target would be those guarding her door or M Schiavo. Hard call.
Autopsy would prove nothing. There would be no way to measure brain activity if she is dead and that would have been the only thing that could have saved her.
I think this is the point - Michael Shiavo is not looking for a payoff. Didn't somebody offer him a million bucks to sign over custody to Teri's parents? I think this guy is getting a really bum rap. The only reason he'd have for doing what he's doing is because he knows Teri isn't going to recover and that she would not have wanted to "live" this way indefinitely.
Come on people, she's been like this for fifteen years. She's just running on brain stem.
When Terri Schiavo dies, as her husband has willed that she should, I say let every bell in the land toll. For it will toll not only for Terri, but for the United States Constitution, which acknowledges that our right to life is determined by a higher power.
The Empire Journal's lead article says Gov Bush expected in Pinellas Park at 12 EST. Is he there yet? Did he bring troops? (Copyright dispute prohibits posting from TEJ.)
Michael Schaivo will get what's coming to him. Surely later but perhaps sooner.
Seems the only answer that explains all of his actions. She really did say to him, if I'm in that situation pull the plug.
Its also I'm sure why he hasn't divorced her to remarry his girlfriend. He doesn't want to give up the legal guardianship.
He bought a large life insurance policy from his girl friend. She worked for an insurance company when they met. Terri also has a $1 million settlement in a trust fund. He makes twice as much if she dies.
He joins a long list of wife killers.
OJ
Peterson
Blake
etc...
Michael Schiavo is every mother's nightmare ............................
Amen!
If Terri were my daughter, the sun would not set before I dispatched him,
on the day that Terri dies.
No one can order an autopsy. Judge Greer has prohibited food and water be administered and has prohibited an autopsy. He has also ordered that her remains be immediately cremated.
Pure evil.
" I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just. " A. Lincoln
The circumstances are not the same. OJ and Blake got off, so technically they are not guilty. Peterson killed his healthy wife and dumped her body in the SF bay.
I don't get it. What is "coming to him"? If this were your wife, would you keep her "alive" in this state for 15 years? 40 years? What if she had expressed to you that she didn't want to live in that state indefinitely, but you never bothered to get it in writing?
What if it were you? Personally, if it were me, I'd want the tube pulled. If I'm just a brain stem, I'm sure not going to be aware that I'm starving to death. Even worse, if I were consciously aware but otherwise trapped in a dead body with no way to communicate and no hope of recovery, I'd be praying for two weeks of starvation leading, finally, to the end of that 15 years of living hell.
Michael isn't the one with no heart; it's everybody else with a morbid fascination in keeping this poor woman "alive" that has no heart.
He's committed the perfect murder.
According to medical records held by the parents, Terri had mutable broken bones and a neck injury when she collapsed. Her husband was originally accused of attempted murder, but the investigation was, for some reason, stopped. It all went hush hush. From that point on, no one knows why Terri collapsed. Her husband wouldn't let anyone investigate.
If he did try to kill her, he botched it. Because of current law, he can now demand the state finish the job for him.
People can sense when something is not right. The court said OJ was innocent, but the people knew different. Terri's case is the same way. People know something is being hidden that has not yet been reveled.
An autopsy could find evidence of old fractures, however.
Hopefully, eternity in Hell!
..GOD did not remove Terri's feeding tube......and the constitution did not intend judges to remove it either. What are you trying to say here ?
Michael Schaivo also got Greer to issue an order that Terri's body will be immediately cremated upon her death without an autopsy being performed.
A $1 million dollar trust fund and a huge life insurance policy. As a nurse put in her sworn affidavit, he'd be "Rich, rich, rich!"
I actually think she should be kept alive because there is a genuine dispute between the husband and the parents. However, the way our legal system works when there is a dispute it goes to court, and this case has been before 23 different judges and the supreme court - 5 times!
Each time they have decided for the husband.
And that would prove what? That she fell off her bike? That she broke something when she fell as a result of her heart attack? That she bumped into something?
If someone dispatched Mike now. Would the parents be able to make the call on the feeding tube and subsequent treatment? No Mike= parents allowed to make call, right?
Would you recreate the chain-saw shower scene from Scarface? Like I would.
I believe the original question related to judge "God" greer. That's why I responded the way I did.
The bone scan already determined that. Read Dr. Walker's deposition. A compression fracture of L-1 is no bicycle accident.
There is a book deal, other financial gains, as well as him preventing an autopsy that might reveal extensive abuse.
I hear ya. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when Terri passes and this whole thing (as far as he is concerned) blows over. I'd say he and his little "family" have probably been inundated with hate mail,death threats and other such nasties.
Just as it should be. It's only fitting he gets what he deserves.
#1. If she were my wife I wouldn't have taken up with another woman and fathered two children out of wedlock.
#2. If she were my wife I wouldn't have withheld treatment and therapy from her for 15 years thus guarenteeing she had no chance to get any better.
#3. If she were my wife, I would welcome any and all medical opinions that might help her; not prevent any opinions that differed with the euthansia proponents who have treated her so far.
Michael Schaivo is a monster who will get what's coming to him
I wondered about that this morning. That's be two wonderful news stories at the same time! Talk about two birds with one stone...
This case has confirmed, with no uncertain gravity, how close to home someone may need to use these skills if they have ever taken a tangent of bad judgment with a relationship.
Mostly, I am working hard to ensure that my kids grow to be happy, self confident adults so they are not vulnerable to be suckered by a Michael Schaivo type in the first place.
If that doesn't work...I can't type here what I'd do to the inhuman piece of filth that would do to my child what Michael Schaivo is doing to Teri. It wouldn't have gone this far.
btt
Ah yes -- but you make the assumption that Michael Schiavo LOVES the unwed mother of his bastard children...
You make the assumption that Michael Schiavo is CAPABLE of loving anyone except himself.
He has broken more vows, committments and statements of intent, than one can count...
If half of what I've heard about Michael's treatment of his wife is true -- and she was MY daugher ---- he would have "disappeared" from the face of the earth and been worm food a LOOOOONG time ago...
I'm a serious as a heart attack about that....
Semper Fi
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Have not the other courts only ruled only on the evidence allowed by 'Judge' Greer? Have they heard the numerous evidence that controverts the Felos/Schaivo argument that Greer will exclusively listen to?
Keep in mind -- the FloriDUH Supreme Court is still stacked with the leftist lunatics who attempted to rewrite the election laws of Florida in 2000 to provide a stolen victory for Algore...
REMEMBER? They were OVERRULED by the U.S. Supreme Court..
STILL want to quote the FloriDUH Court as the final word on what is right.
Semper Fi
That would be ok, but it would be a travesty of justice if Judge Greer wasn't charged as well!
I would not either, but I can't blame him for moving on.
#2. If she were my wife I wouldn't have withheld treatment and therapy from her for 15 years thus guarenteeing she had no chance to get any better.
That is not true. She has had years of therapy, it did not work.
#3. If she were my wife, I would welcome any and all medical opinions that might help her; not prevent any opinions that differed with the euthansia proponents who have treated her so far.
If she were my wife and she told me that she would never want to live like that, I would try to honor her wishes.
If there are as many fractures as I've seen listed here (healed without treatment) it could be grounds for a malpractice suit, or grounds to impeach Judge Greer for ignoring the evidence. Or, perhaps charges can still be brought against her husband, who certainly is behaving in a suspicious manner. I was appalled to learn that her so-called husband is 6' 7" and has medical training. The broken bones make sense now.
Her friends said they used to see unexplained bruises on her before her "accident". Her friends and family have both said that she talked of leaving him only days before the "accident".
This all makes me sick.
