It'll keep up as long as anyone can garner "political capital," or use it to their own enrichment.

And she apparently had the audacity to die AFTER her parents left the room, and with her husband instead.

Which has truly pissed off Randall Terry, the anti-abortion nut, no end. Think of the propaganda value had she died on Easter...or with her mummy...

But that she held out and took her last breath in the presence of her husband?

Well, now that won't do at all for the Right to Lifers.

RAndall Terry is already screaming at the media that it is ALL MICHAEL'S FAULT she died with him, and that he DENIED THE SCHINDLERS THIS LAST MOMENT WITH HER FAMILY.

Sure looks to me like she died with her TRUE family present.

The circus is far from over; maybe in the center ring, but the acts in the other two have only just begun.

She may be gone, but the bullshit marches on, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.

The Schindlers have already proved that they have no interest in winning really, which is why they so successfully abused the legal system and the nation with their plight.

Remember, they didn't need a LEGITIMATE basis to keep abusing the system. That's why we call it abuse.

Robo--it could end up in courts for the very reasons the rest of it did--the parents didn't have a grasp of the reality of the situation. Which is why I found it extremely ironic that early in the week there were quite a few headlines that pronounced that the Schindler's were "dealing with reality."

What I find so appalling, and seems to be the one thing that I didn't see said outloud (while admitting that I didn't read every angry negative article about this case) that the whole incident was treated like a death penalty case. As if this was Carla Fay Tucker all over again. As if these appeals were conducted because her husband was willfully putting a rational person to death with impunity. The idea that so many doctors and rational intelligent people in the hospice saw the truth of her condition, yet the Bushes, the U.S. Congress, and in the end even Jessie Jackson and various and sundry others acted as if those same intelligent people would let him "excecute" his wife if there was a glimmer of hope.

congratulations to donuel, who is so happy this woman died and people who care about life are upset.

With her death, you support murder of the innocent and sanctioned euthanasia.

sorry she wasn't worthy of life to you exterminators.

1) I apologize to everyone on this threa: That GUEST 12:37 post bitching about someone else's GUEST post was me. I regard incompetence as worse than cowardice, so I've got my (metaphorical) tail between my legs here.

2) Michael Schiavo had already announced that Terri would be autopsied, I'm wondering if that is related to his expectation as art indicates above, that he will be involved in civil litigation.

3) Considering how often this subject has already gone to the courts, on what basis could the Schindlers file suit against Michael Schiavo?

Unfortunately, it is probably far from over. I expect the "wrongful death" lawsuit, and likely a criminal complaint, will be filed against Mr. Schiavo by the Schindlers within the week.

With this spectacle, I am deeply ashamed to call myself an American.

GUEST, you haven't had the guts to call yourself anything. This is a truly unfortunate situation, but it is a VERY American thing and nothing new to those who know enough about their country and its people:

1) Concern over an issue that gets publicized out of all proportion.
2) Self analyzation and flagellation over the excesses of 1).
3) A lot of practical good coming out of a bad situation.
4) The non-involvement of the central character.

I remember reading that Oscar Wilde was visiting the US at the time Jesse James was killed and noted in his diary that interested crowds had totally broken up his house for souvenirs.

Your other comments GUEST I quite agree with including Donuel's bit of clever satire.

But seriously, I am so happy for this embarressing chapter in American politics to finally be over... And I'm happy for her husband as well as her parents...

But most of all, I am happy for Terri's spirit...

May it now rest in eternal peace...

Quite true Guest. The hysteria to come will include violence and unhearalded abusrdity that will rival the unprecedented Cnngressional vote and Bush vacation ending signing of the Schiavo bill.

possible examples:

Terry's feeding tube on ebay.

$19.99 Terry tube yellow bracelets (to suppport God's right to make us suffer)

Whack job Jerry Wallfell murders Michael for right to Life cause.

I don't expect it will get any easier for her husband any time soon. The final disposition of her remains and her estate loom. But she has finally broken free, and that's what he was working for, so I hope he feels some relief for that reason.

You are all absolutely right. And thank you Donuel, for the announcement. It's a couple of days late, but hell, those Right to Lifers are grassroots, so we gotta cut 'em some slack on that raising from the dead thing.

Pathetically, I don't think Michael Schiavo will be finding any peace this week. He still has autopsy hysteria, cremation hysteria, and death threats to him, his partner, their children, and their relatives to worry about.

With this spectacle, I am deeply ashamed to call myself an American.

When one of the first threads appeared here I responded to "How Will Terri Schiavo Die?"........and now I will repost exactly what I said then as it came, sadly, true..............Publicly, on display, and without the simple respect we could have afforded her. She will be a spectacle and a cause of a people virtually without values and now, forever, without grace...of which I am sad to be a member..............

The parents have personally petitioned George W Bush and the Pope to bring Terry back to life.
The Pope's response was unitelligible due to his feeding tube.
George's response was simply unitelligible.

May she finally have the peace that her family worked so hard to deny her. I suspect that they will never allow themselves peace.

I find this whole thing tragic beyond words. The only good thing is that it has put the issue of heroic treatment on the lips of everyone, and that many people have made or are making plans to ensure that the same thing will will not happen to them by filling out the appropriate paperwork and making sure it gets filed and otherwise handled.

RIP, Terri. And peace to her husband, too, finally.
