so then Michael Schiavo is entitled to publish his opinions in a book if he feels like it?

I know, I know - it's a combination of boredom (in Toronto on business in a hotel room with some work to finish off before more meetings tomorrow) and alcohol. Don't you ever just feel like getting riled up over something for the hell of it. I'm just interested to know why some people are so sure that they can take one persons side over another in a family argument when ultimately we'll never know for sure (and who was it who went to the media in the first place?).

Ah yes, boredom and alcohol, I know those two.

AmerLisa

I don't care what he does - my question is why does he need to? Why stir up the past? Is it going to make a difference?

You say you don't care so surely that nullifies the questions that follow in your post above...

I think that it was easy to villanize him because (by the time we knew about any of this) he had moved on and was with a new partner.

There but for the grace of God goes I.

AmerLisa

Which above post? The one about alcohol and boredom?

Leslie

Because it was also his life... his experience... not just hers. His voice was taken away, perhaps he's just trying to get it back?

1. Terry Schiavo - still dead
2. The whole thing - still a tragedy
3. The parents - still dicks
4. The husband - still smelling of roses
5. Bill O'Reilly - still a knobend

Maybe we should move on to the next tragedy

Her family essentially went around accusing him of murdering his wife. Now a respectable length of time has passed, I can certainly see why he might want his side of the the story to come out.

Who's the bigger twat ? Bill O'Reilly or someone who takes him seriously ?

Leslie

I heard Michael Schiavo has a new book out. Maybe I'll do some reading....

It does seem like it's dragging on,the poor woman is dead and gone,but at the same time I do feel quite bad for him,it seems like his name was dragged through the dirt,but from what I understand,he did stand by Terri....personally I think he did the right thing...it wasn't fair to her to keep her going,when, for all intents and purposes,she was dead already.
Who had the right to make decisions for Terri?,surely it was her husband,not her parents,when you marry doesn't your spouse become your 'next of kin'?
As some of you may know,I did spend two weeks in a coma,and my husband was told that if I ever came out of it I would be a veggie,obviously I was incredibly lucky....from what I've heard the doctors told Terri's family that there was no hope of recovery...they don't just say that in passing,they would've run every test they could think of,she would've been a pin-cushion....I felt SO sorry for her every time they showed her story on tv....it was cruel to force her to exist in that condition.
This is my opinion,from my own experience....the problem is that even if you legally put your wishes in writing they can still be contested...it's the perverbial 'rock and a hard place',my husband knows that if anything happens again, I absolutely do not want to be kept alive by machines,....touch wood nothing else will happen!......Sophia
