Re: Terri Schiavo

My problem with her husband making this decision is three-fold.

1) He didn't remember her "wish to die" until after he became engaged to another woman (with whom he is living and has two children).

2) He refuses any tests (even though he wouldn't have to pay for them) that would confirm or refute her Persistant Vegetative State.

3) During the malpractice suits he filed (and won) he claimed all the monies would go toward her care, and his doctors estimated her life span to be for many years from now. He now wants to "carry out her wishes" with money still in the bank.

I'm pro-euthanasia, I believe in the right-to-die with dignity, and wish Congress and the courts could have stayed out of a messy situation. I just don't think he has his wife's best interests at heart.
