If the autopsy report reveals that there was HIGHER brain activity, of course I would reconsider my opinion. However, the part of the brain that controls higher brain activity was liquified when her heart stopped for several minutes when she was first injured, so I would be pretty surprised. But when new facts come in, I always study them and am perfectly willing to reconsider what I believe. Terri had been married for six years when all of this happened. She was not a newlywed. In the first few years after she was injured, her husband remained devoted to her and studied to be a nurse to take care of her. He sought out new treatments everywhere to help her. Finally a group of doctors convinced him there was no hope of recovery. No one can actually find any "profits" that Michael Schiavo made, from what I have read. He got some money in a legal judgment for lack of spousal affection or whatever it is called, because the doctors treating them for infertility should have run tests that would have determined Terri was bulemic, and that underlying condition caused her heart to stop. Any mate of someone whose disability is caused by malpractice can sue for similar reasons. Most of that judgment went for Terri's medical care, and was administered by judges and a court-appointed guardian for Terri, who was an attorney. Every time money has been spent on her behalf, everyone went back to court. No one has been profiteering from her plight.
