Wow, that is really, really sad if he was after her money. It could explain why he didn't divorce her - he would have lost the million. You tell me, why this is legal when polygamy certainly isn't? This is actually worse than polygamy.

What was the malpractice case about? Spooky case.

It really sends the chills down the spine. You really want to wish he stayed married to her purely because he was trying to retain his legal rights in order to help her get off of the life support. But the money, the girlfriend with his kids, really puts that to question. If he had donated the money to a medical clause after paying the legal fees, then you would know he stayed married to do the right thing for her. But if he keeps the money, then it makes you wonder. It looks bad. Can a person be that bad that they want to see their spouse die just to get their money? Spooky.

re: allegations

Key word.

The real issue is if you believe the husband (and Terry's friends) when they say that she said she would want to live in this situation. 15 years later. All the courts have sided with the husband, are they in error?

The "right to life" folks have now taken it up. They are demonstarting in front of the hospice. The Republicans are making it a federal issue in Congress.

The whole thing makes me want to vomit. It's like an Altman parody film of American life. It's a clear demonstration of how callous we are as a people, how we lack any elegance, humility or respect for each other.

It's the ultimate "reality show", and the winner gets to decide if this unfortuate woman lives or dies. It's a clear demonstration that we have lost all sense of humanity, and traded it in for politics.

Amy, Ted, Ten, all you folks are enjoying the spectacle. Reminisent of the Romans with their gladiators. You ought to be ashamed.

John

Complicating the case is that Michael Schiavo never mentioned his wife's death wishes until after the couple were awarded more than $1 million in medical malpractice lawsuits. Michael Schiavo stood to inherit that money if his wife died, although after years of litigation most of it is gone.
