RE: "But turning down the $10 million seems to indicate he is sincere" It doesn't look like he's doing it for money. He's probably burned thru $1M already in legal fees. He's certainly taking on a lot of stress to fight this. He could have easily walked away from the legal fight and gotten married to the other women. It doesn't look like he's doing it for money. I don't like the idea of the "right to live" club forcing this lady to live in a vegetative state against her wishes, if that was her wish. CNN had a poll: 88% of all respondents said they would not want their parents to let them live in a vegetative state like this. Regards, Amy J

But turning down the $10 million seems to indicate he is sincere... Sincere? Sincere about what? Killing her and collecting her insurance settlement? sweetliberty.org During the 1992 malpractice suit, Schiavo testified: "I believe in the vows I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poor. I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that".He also told the jury that he intended to bring Terri home and that, if he had the equipment and resources, he would do so immediately. Terri's alleged "wishes" only surfaced in 1998, after Schiavo petitioned the courts to remove Terri's feeding tube. However, during the 1992 malpractice lawsuit, Schiavo, in pursuit of a 20 million dollar award, pleaded with the courts for money he said he needed for Terri's extended long term care. He presented this case based on Terri's estimated life expectancy of 50 years or more. However, seven months later, after receiving this money, Schiavo instructed nurses caring for Terri not to give her antibiotics for a urinary tract infection. This untreated infection could have brought about Terri's death and this fact was know to Schiavo.
