I only caught a little of this sad situation. the piece i saw was an interview with the father.. He alleges that her husband has withheld for years all requests for physical therapy, he said four doctors stated she is not brain dead. I also heard the husband had other interests than to see her recover.. Now of course this is one sided but i have not seen it mentioned in other places. What was this guys relationship to his wife other than husband? I wonder if he has been trying to kill her within the medical and legal court system or is she really brain dead?

We have the protocols we have for a reason. Perhaps those protocols should be reevaluated. Perhaps the Schiavo case will be a trigger for that and something constructive will come out of this. Perhaps some change is called for or perhaps what we have is the best we can do. We are all entitled to due process. We aren't entitled to have things come out the way we want them to. The Florida legislature and governor have discarded established process and substituted their judgment. There is risk here to more than Terri Schiavo and her family.
