The government didn't want to get involved. Her family was pushing FL State Senate/Congress, US Senate/Congress, the Governor, and the President, ect.

I just watched an episode of South Park which amde a valid point. They were spoofing the case. The people fighting for her to live are right for the wrong reasons. And the people who want the fedding tube to stay out are wrong for the right reasons. Does that make sense?

I cant believe you reffer to South Park to something like this. South Park is the most ignorant and idiotic show ever. So? Because I want her to live its wrong? Because I value all forms of life is wrong? Because she cant talk gives us the right to take away her constitutional right to life? No. I dont think so.

The point they were making is no one was right or wrong.

The fact that he wants to cremate her and put the ashes away in Pennsylvania is cruel, because her parents, her actual caretakers for the past many years, wanted her to be buried in Florida. It is like a final blow because she has passed on, and he got his way. Now, he even gets to have his say over where and how her body will be put to rest. That's lame.

Just something more for him to be in the papers about. I hope the news keeps up with him, because I want to know if he gets married to his common-law wife now, because his REAL wife is dead. Now, her replacement can be sworn in. He only wanted her dead so he could marry this woman and if I were her, I'd leave him. I can't say this word enough...CRUEL!

I feel you on this one, Daniel. This has been one sad day.

R.I.P. Terri Schiavo. What an injustice.

Very well said.

Well said except for the slur about common law wives Errick. I guess I could be considered a 'common law' wife since I live with my boyfriend but have no interest in marriage at the present time. Not everyone wants/feels the need to get marrried anyways..

George actually South Park is a VERY smart show. I have the first 5 seasons on DVD so I've seen like all of them, and they get their points across very well. I loved the one about The Passion Of the Jew. GIve the show a chance before dismissing it, trust me you won't be sorry.

A life is a life and we have to respect it, no matter if she couldnd talk, JUST because she couldnt speak, move, it doesnt mean she didnt deserve to die...

it's A MURDER

RIP

Some Christians object to cremation because they believe that the ashes cannot be resurrected and go to heaven. Others don't like it for various personal or religious reasons. I don't understand why Michael Schiavo is so bent on getting her cremated. He should just let her parents have custody of the body to do as they wish. After all it is their daughter and it's not like they would descrate the body.

I think cremation is okay, this just enforces the importance of stating what you want your death to be like.

My father was cremated and he was a born again Christian.

I think he wants to creamate her because he doesn't want to live with the guilt of knowing shes is near him physically if she were to be burried in PA.
