There Was Motive




According to recent polls. I am part of a minority who agree with the government in the Terri Shiavo case. Due to the fact that Michael Schiavo has moved on with his life. I think Michael no longer reserves the right to make life or death decisions in regards to Terri. If she had been able to let the public know. I don't think she would have wanted someone like her ex-husband. Who had started another relationship, that produced two children. Having that kind of power over her. He wasn't free to marry his now wife, until his old one died. I would have had no problem had she died naturally. But I think it was inhumane for them to starve her to death. If you eat nothing for thirteen days, you would probably die too. Though it was probably never planned. In my opinion this is just farther proof,  there was motive for his decision.

  2. Yes, he had an ulterior motive. He could have divorced her to move on with his life and allowed her parents to make the necessary medical decisions. Ummm, could it be he did not do that because of a life insurance policy. The sad part about this case is politics got involved and they are still using it for their own agenda.

    I have a living will; I had it before the Terry Shiavo situation became public. I did not think about it when I was healthy like most people do not think about having a living will while they are healthy.

    The one good that came out of this is people are NOW aware of the importance of a living will.

  3. Blinders Off,

    I agree about the living will. If anything good came out of this ordeal, that was it. I think he was content with her being alive, and getting care. Until the lawsuit ran out.
