Anyone got a good site about Terri Schiavo?
I've Googled it, but most of the material is fairly contradictory. Is she a vegetable or not? Is the state paying for her treatment? Does her husband benefit from her death? Does she interact with people?

What's going on?

1. Here is one that may be slightly biased but biased against what they felt
were corrupt judges. http://www.theempirejournal.com

4. Okay, if she is able to respond... then she is not dead?
From the link you provided:

"When asked by her parents and their attorneys if she wanted to live, Terri Schiavo made two conscious attempts to say “Yeah” and began to cry when told that her husband, Michael Schiavo, would be removing her feeding tube on orders of Judge Greer, which would result in her death by starvation."

WTF? I thought she was a vegetable and unable to communicate with anyone? If she is able to respond to questions, that changes my opinion on this.

8. Then can you give me a more objective site?
I don't know what is the truth and what is spin. Either the woman can respond to questions or she can't. That's a pretty straight-forward questions.

7. Hard to say for sure if she's REALLY brain dead and if she were and had a
signed organ donor card, the hospital would have just kept her on "life support" long enough to "harvest" her organs LONG AGO.
