I have spent an eternity saying this.

Terri Schiavo is not on life support. She does not use a ventilator. I don't know where that story started, but here it ends. She is not hooked up to any machines. She uses a feeding tube. That is not life support. Taking her off the feeding tube will cause her to - slowly - starve or dehydrate.

There is evidence that she reacts to things around her. There is also evidence that her condition would be drastically improved if the money from the settlement had gone towards her treatment instead of her husband's court bills.

So please, base your opinions off of accurate information.

And now, I will let other people talk about being in situations where they were believed dead, and post those links (links I've posted before) about other people who nearly died because "after all, she's not going to recover, might as well pull the plug now" - and at the time, they were conscious.

If you have reason to believe your husband may lie about your wishes to get the inheritance...?

It's beyond stupid to let somebody else have control over your life like that.

he's already gotten the million. and her inheritence just can't be THAT large, aren't her parents still alive (hence the whole fight). so she hasn;t even inherited yet, right? and her parents can change their will at any time.

Lizziey, have you been paying any attention? She got a massive insurance settlement. The money was supposed to go for her treatment. It never did.
