Judge rejects right-to-die delay

[Gamecube64]

He is fighting the family because he wants to honor his beloved wife's wishes. He stood by a vegetable's side 15 years to get this to happen. It seems pretty convincing he is doing this out of love.

He turned down 10 million, of course I trust him.

Please you think this man has been celibate since this ordeal? If he is indeed doing this out of love let him walk away leave her care in the hands of her family move on with his life forget it, but he doesnt he continues to fight why?

He denied her access to antibiotics to stop a urinary tract infection in 1993 (just after the malpractice award came in, naturally) out of love? Color me unconvinced...

He hasn't been. He has children by another woman. He's Terri Schiavo's husband in name only.

He is paying for it, but it is with lawsuit money... I was partially right. Still, he could have kept the malpractice 1 million then turned over care to the parents. But instead he used it to pay the hospital bills.

(3) Given that the jury awarded $750,000 to be used in part for Terri's therapy, why hasn't Schiavo provided any rehabilitation for her since 1991?

When asked by King about the issue of rehab, Schiavo described some early efforts to help Terri, such as an experimental surgery in 1990. But he never identified when this rehab took place.

Which is an important point. The only efforts ever undertaken to improve Terri's condition took place in 1990 and 1991. They had ceased by the time of the malpractice trial in 1992 because her insurance coverage had run out. Indeed, the pressing need to restart therapy was an urgent part of the malpractice case. It could have--and should have--paid to restart the rehabilitation that had been abandoned due to lack of funds.

Once Terri's $750,000 was in the bank, however, Schiavo would not approve a single cent of it to be spent on rehabilitation. Not only that, but once the money was in the bank, Schiavo ordered a "do not resuscitate" order placed on Terri's chart so that if she had a cardiac event, the doctors would not attempt to save her. And within a few months of the money being deposited, Schiavo also refused to permit curative treatments, such as antibiotics for infections. If Terri had died during the early or mid-1990s, as Schiavo's orders were designed, he would have inherited somewhere around $700,000.

And you people trust this guy?

that source is wrong... according to wikipedia, he stopped therapy in 1992... after 2 years of intense therapy, there was no chance in her condition.

I like your strategy Drake. You have no facts to present, so you try to assassinate the character of her loving and devoted husband.

[Gamecube64]

Of course not, he has atleast one child with his girlfriend according to MSNBC. That doesn't mean he doesn't love her also, but vegetables don't make good companions.

if Tubes told you he didn't want to be kept alive and then had the same condition, would you abide by his wishes or just "walk away"?

[Drake Tungsten]

No facts to present? Have you linked to anything yet?

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Then why not walk away leave her to her family?

If i knew he was gone to me for ever Id leave him to his family if thats what they wanted.

Because he feels he owns her the favor.

it's nice to know you'd let your husband rot in a flesh prison instead of fulfilling his wishes

[Drake Tungsten]

Damn that Washington Post link! Still, we're equal. Can't see how you can say I'm not presenting facts...
