2. Swindlers is a lot more polite than the name I have for them.....
but, I may give them the break that they refused to give Michael Shiavo - I'll let them have a day peace before I come out blasting!

5. Well I'm sorry that I offended you, but they have cruelly exploited
and prolonged their daughters Life for 7 + years, if they didn't care about her wishes, then I don't care about their sensitivities to the obvious agenda of their newly found fame.

AND because of what they did, Terri's pathetic face and body was shown and shown and shown on T.V., really searing the horrible images
of her in everybodies mind, is that how SHE would want to be remembered by millions?

If I were Terri, I would have disowned them for exploiting me for all of these years.

6. Yes, the name calling may be a little harsh.
But remember, it was the parents who went so public with this fight to a point of ridiculousness. Who, if they truly cared for their daughter, would broadcast videos of their daughter in that condition? Where was Terri's right to privacy? Her parents sacrificed their daughter to be reduced to a mantra for the (sometimes) right to life movement. It was her husband who respected his wife and attempted to keep things private. There are allegations that have surfaced that the big family split occurred after the husband received the settlement (which is nothing now due to health care and court costs) from the lawsuit and the Schindlers demanded money. Also, many sources report that Michael sought numerous treatments for his wife's condition and took her all over trying to get her help during the first several years. It is amazing how many doctors have said Terri was not in a PVS after seeing a few minutes of video tape and the parents gave these 'doctors' credibility. The parents made Terri's condition into a media circus that attracted wackos (including Jugglers for Jesus to 'amuse' the crowd) from everywhere. I feel badly their daughter died, but she really died 15 years ago and it is the parents who have disrespected her.

4. Shortly after a "decent" interval....
I'm sure they will be advertising books & videos for sale.

Send a note instead of cash.
