I read an article at, I think, St. Petersburg Times or the Tampa Trib, that discussed how the guardian ad litem has made a 180 on the case, and now backs the removal of the tube.

What no one is talking about is that the cases where two people regained some limited cognitive function after being in car accidents that resulted in brain injury (which in rare circumstances, over a long enough period of time, grow new brain cells and synapses). In the case of Terri Schiavo, her brain was deprived of oxygen, and so there is no hope of new brain cells growing, hence the "hopeless" prognosis for people in persistent vegetative states as a result of oxygen deprivation.

Odd isn't it, that none of these really important details and contexts get discussed in the mainstream media storm? There was also another article at one of the two papers I mentioned above, that discussed how biased the edited snippet of videotape that keeps being shown over and over ad nauseum by every tv news outlet, against the husband's case. The article says that the couple seconds you see makes it appear as though there is some responsiveness and consciousness, but that just isn't the reality. The rest of the video it was taken from is actually four hours of Terri Schiavo sitting perfectly still, staring blankly into space, NOT responding to anyone, etc.

Politicians and the Right to Lifers are scum.
