The two neurologists selected by Michael Schiavo, a court-appointed "neutral" neurologist, and Ms. Schiavo's attending physician all agreed that her condition met the criteria for a persistent vegetative state.

Nope. No possible pro-euthinasia bias there! (/s)

The neurologist and the radiologist chosen by the patient's parents and siblings, the Schindler family, disagreed and suggested that Ms. Schiavo's condition might improve with unproven therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen or vasodilators — but had no objective data to support their assertions.

So why not try? She wasn't suffering, so there was all the time in the world to attempt to help her. Why rush her through a death sentence when she had committed no crime?
Even a mass murdering terrorist gets out of the death penalty if one person on the jury disagrees with it!!!

There's absolutely no excuse for her murder.

I totally agree. There is no excuse for what happened to her and I am appalled that it could happen in the USA.
The "spin" for the doctors is amazing.

There have been only a few reported cases in which minimal cognitive and motor functions were restored three months or more after the diagnosis of a persistent vegetative state due to hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy; in none of these cases was there the sort of objective evidence of severe cortical damage that was present in this case, nor was the period of disability so long.

Having viewed some of the highly edited videotaped material of Terri Schiavo and having seen other patients in a persistent vegetative state, I am not surprised that family members and others unfamiliar with this condition would interpret some of her apparent alertness and movement as meaningful.

That's why, you should read the ENTIRE paragraph on his basis.

Agreed, euthanasia is murder, plain and simple.

they are torturing comments from different timeframes.
In 2002, Greer planned to use the 5 doctors + the attending
to determine her PVS status. 6 doctors total.

But after hearing her attending exclaim surprise at how aware she seems to be, Greer changed gears, tossed out the attending physician,
and formed his opinion based on the 3-to-2 results from just the other doctors.

"There's absolutely no excuse for her murder."

I agree totally. The media and all the Death Now Lovers,
are and have been, twisting this into condemnation against the VICTIM and her REAL BLOOD family, the ones who loved her most. Twisted logic. No reason for Terri to die, She was not ill. They murdered her!!! That was their goal, mission completed now they want a pat on the back. It's just sick thinking and a totally horrific death for an innocent disabled HUMAN BEING. Bunch of Sickos Greer,
MS and Felos and may no one ever have a neurologist like Cranford. They are disgust me. BTW I do not belong to any GROUP, I am not Catholic, but I do I know right from wrong. This was a tragic misuse of power.
Condemning the REAL family for using the tapes of her was the only way they could show she was NOT in a PVS. Now they say we dont see what we see. Why are two tapes still sealed?
It was a biased court from the time Greer sat his rump in that chair. Lordy, he must have no sense of Family, any decent Judge would have known that a "man" living with a paramour and kids with that woman needs to be removed as a guardian. Greer is a dismal souless failure of a judge.
But I bet he golfs well and spends lots of time with his "Death now buddies". Felos and Cranford, they are just flat out creatures with no morals. Speaking of Morals, MS has NONE, IMO. Terri was a sweet angel disabled victim of these horrible men and now the media is not still not done.
Well "Shame on THEM ALL".
