And we also need to be REALLY CLEAR on exactly how Terri was a “financial burden” to her estranged, adulterous “husband.”

Terri was awarded a lot of money for her rehabilitation. This money was NEVER used for her rehabilitation, it was spent on lawyers to kill Terri. Thus, the ONLY way Terri could be construed as a “financial burden” is through the twisted and evil notion that if she lived, her estranged and adulterous “husband” wouldn’t get her money. It is also worth noting that Terri’s estranged, adulterous “husband” was awarded a large sum of money for “loss of consortium” which is incredibly ironic when you consider that he abandoned Terri for another woman and has children with her. And finally, we need to realize that the Schindlers offered to let Terri’s estranged, adulterous “husband” keep all of the money if he would simply divorce Terri and let them become her guardians.

Saying that Terri was a “financial burden” to her estranged, adulterous “husband” would be the same as saying that Jesus Christ was a “financial burden” to Judas.

Wow, I should have known not to post on this thread as this topic is a sensitive subject for many.

A clarification for those who didn't read my post and if I didn't word it correctly . . .

My reference to a "financial burden" was in the context of MY potential situation. I didn't say Terri was a "financial burden" to Michael so please avoid the leftist tactic of false accusations/attributions.

As for it being "better to err on the side of life" - that's the reason for my post: I WANT NO ONE TO "ERR" - my wishes are now legal and my wife has the power to ensure they are implemented (and vice-versa). Sorry some of you missed the whole point and I hope you do as I did and get your wishes on paper asap.

Also, my "what if" posits and/or arguments had nothing to with an attempt to "solve" this case. This issue has been solved - though obviously not to our satisfaction.

One last point to ponder . . . does or should adultery nullify the legal rights of a spouse if the marriage is still intact? If so, what about adultery in the mind and heart as the Bible indicates? I'm not about to make that claim and I hope you won't make that leap either.
