seems no party wasnt honest ever. Micheal excuse for suing was to help pay for terris care if he said that then why years later does he say she wouldnt want to live like that

At the time he may not have yet given up hope.

Your kidding right you have been here saying all along that he wants to honor terris wishes and then he fights for money to take care of her and know he didnt know

[Ben Kenobi]

Hope is irrelevant to Terri's wishes.

If Terri wanted to live, then Michael was bound to respect those wishes, regardless of whether he had hope of her recovery

It was only three years into her condition when they finally settled (the court case was decided two years in). Given his actions, there is every indication at first he thought she could recover. I think he probably gave up hope sometime in the second year and realizing she wasn't coming back, decide to act according to her wishes . . . after he got the money.

You and me both, but I don't see anyone advocating eugenics.

nah you didn't - but you avoided my question - is letting someone starve to death right?

[Mrs. Tuberski]

che you have been saying all along the guy was honoring terris wishes had this been true shed had been gone in the first year dont give me this he held out hope crap. she was hooked up to tubes then and now after a mil later hes honoring her wishes

[chequita guevara]

The history of the case is that for the first two to three years, he was persuing all sorts of restorative therapy for her, including electrical stimulation of the brain. The screws they put in her head to do it were why they couldn't do an MRI on her.

It was in the third year he put an DNR order on her. It was in the 8th year he went to the courts to ask them to decide whether or not she would have wanted to be taken off the machines.

Those are the facts. Interpret them how you want.

If they've no mind, it really doesn't matter. I'd prefer a more humane way of putting the body down, but if there's no mind to experience pain or suffering, it doesn't matter. It only matters to us.

[Alexander's Horse]

fair enough

[Mrs. Tuberski]

uh che it wasnt in the 8 th year and it doent matter you said all along he was honoring her wishes why does it change when he says it does he claimed she didnt want to live that way ever but allowed for 8 years but now its against her wishes what is it

[chequita guevara]

It changes when you say, "She's never coming back." If before that point, you believe there's a chance of revival, then letting her die woldn't be honoring her wishes.

According to wikipedia, Schiavo went to court in 1998 to have Terri's tube pulled. That's eight years.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

please you said he has maintained that the woman has stated i dont wantto live like this if he knew that at the begining he would have fought for this at first thought dont tell me this man just remmebered oh yeah my wife didnt wantto live like this. That doesnt work he had hope so that gave him the ability to not honor terris wishes?
