Yes, Michael Schiavo is a sadist as revealed by his own words and actions. And who would want to die by such a slow and barbaric means? This this was permitted horrified me. The method used to kill Terri isn't permitted for the worst of criminals or mad dogs. And Terri never even had a lawyer.

This is not a right to die issue (and no evidence existed that this is what Terri wanted). Supporters of Terri included pro-choice groups, Wiccans, liberals and conservatives (e.g. Gloria Allred), etc.

One readily available source on many of the facts is "Silent Witness" by Mark Fuhrman.
