They were discussing this on the radio yesterday. If she dies her husband stands to inherit a lot of money. If they are divorced he gets nothing. He did get an insurance payment that was supposed to go to therapy for Terry. He spent that on his fiancee with whom he has one child and another in the oven. BTW, Terry had filed for divorce when she had her chemical imbalance that caused the heart attack.

No one I have talked to has said they would want to be kept alive as Terry Schiavo has been for 13 years. Not one person. Well, now you know one - me. When I imagine being in a state where it is ethical to "pull the plug," it's in far worse condition than Terry Schiavo is now. I wouldn't pull the plug on any member of my family who was in her condition, either. People do recover from persistent vegetative states. I certainly hope it wouldn't last for 13 years, but where would one draw the line?
