They used the “Have you stopped beating your wife...” technique with the built in presumption that it was wrong to try to save her. But we can take heart. They try so hard because they know the power of Terri’s Legacy.

There is no argo listed in FreeRepublic but plenty in the health industry, so it is hard to place argo.

ROOTSTOWN -- More than 100 community members turned out Thursday at the Northeast Ohio Universities College of Medicine for a fund-raiser for the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, named for a Florida woman whose right to live or die became national news in 2004 and 2005.

The foundation wants to raise $18,000 by May 7 to create, with matching grant money, a paid position to establish networks of care and support in opposition euthanasia -- a controversial practice also called assisted suicide or mercy killing -- and educate the public about alternatives to the practice.

Terri Schiavo's parents, the Schindlers, fought to keep their daughter alive despite severe neurological injury due to still-unexplained cardiac arrest, and in opposition to the wishes of her husband, Michael Schiavo. The case became a court fight that riveted the nation and ended March 31, 2005 when Terri Schiavo died of dehydration after her feeding tube was removed by court order.

Several of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace, a brotherhood of monks from St. Paul, Minn., have been working closely with the Schindler family since Terri Schiavo's story made news and to continue to oppose euthanasia even after her death in 2005.....................................................................................
