From what I read, Teri had a court appointed guardian ad litem or someone like that, but when he disagreed with Michael Schiavo, Judge Greer dismissed him and appointed himself as guardian.
I heard earlier that it is unconstitutional for the presiding judge to be a guardian AND the judge trying the case for the same woman.
How did that turn out?
There have been so many wierd events in the years of this case that I have concluded there are others powers-that-be out there that have a strong interest in allowing her death.
This woman is not brain dead, not in an unresponsive condition. Why are we trying to kill her?
My main question is - do we wish the courts to allow any spouse the ability to kill the mate without proof of the patient's wishes. I would say having a live-in companion of several years and two children by that companion would indicate that Michael has moved on in his affections and no longer considers Terri a wife. Or, is he allowed two wives?
Are we to believe that he still loves Terri? Then what about the live-in companion and the mother of his children - what is she?
If he has new emotional ties to another woman - he then is in the position of an EX-HUSBAND - not a husband and should in no way have life or death decision making power over an invalid wife. The man is trying to rule life or death on a wife while in reality having a wife in his current home.
No way. And, no way I am in favor of ever having the power of life and death in the hands of a man caught in this situation.
Another point - he refuses to consider the parents wishes about their daughter. Why? Are they not more emotionally involved with her than he is? He has been offered cash to relinquish her care and still the man wants her dead.
Any person should ask why?
And, I don't know of any ex-husband that has two children and a live-in companion of years standing that really loves an ex-wife. It would seem that the current wife would have that affection and would then also be determining the life or death of the ex.
