FL. Loses Appeal in Terri Schiavo Case

I has mixed feeling when I read both sides here and different forums over Terri's case and had been tried to download some of posts's video link but it doesn't work on me.

I saw some of Terri's movement for 20 minutes on the TV for a first time yesterday. I was like "Oh my dear" when I saw her on the TV. She lied on the bed ..... Would she stay for other 15 YEARS like this? Of course she look at balloon but talk? No feeling, No emotion, etc.. but laugh and talk bit (not properly).

German media saying: None of therapies can heal Terri because her brain is severe damaged. It would be helps if she has light brain damage but severe?

German media insisted that Terri's husband want Terri stay alive which he knew that Terri want die if anything happened to her but he thought the therapies would help Terri, it's his hopeful but it doesn't work on Terri so he gave up and remember Terri's wish to be die then let her die but Terri's parents are against it because of their reglious ground and want her alive. :dunno:

There's atompshere in at my work place saying that it's better to let Terri go. It look cruel to let Terri stay like like this for 15 years. They beleives that Michael hope therapies would help Terri in first place until he realized few years later that it doesnt help because of that severe brain damaged. They beleive that Terri would want Michael has his freedom because he's health and need company.

I really don't know what should I say. I got mixed feeling between German and America medias. One thing is I'm agree that pulling feed tube to starve to death is an abuse.

I dont know why Judges dont overlook why He does that.. why dont just Judge tell him to divorce.. and give responsible and guardian to her parents.. but her parents have been taking care of Terri ever since..

MsGiglz, Yes! That what I heard it from my fiancee says, she watched tv about that he had girlfriend while he is married person.. He is adultery. But [little topic off]: it make me feel bad and sad that TODAY most men or women don't understand marriage's famous quote of vow: for better, for worse..for health, for unhealth they violated the committment.... they would never understand marriage's vow in their rest life..

anyway let back on this I agree with you, Me either that I never understand that Judge did not overlook his profile...judge should order him to get divorce terri first prior on his list.. hang on about terri's issue till his divorce file is over. he could discuss about terri's physical's issues.. oh SAD! He will regret his life for rest but Good luck to terri's husbad that what he wanted..

I did answered your question read up... Let me show you, It's all about money to Michael.


I don't want to see her die either, And I think she derserved to live and get the therpay she was suppose to have ten years ago to start with and nobody gave that to her not even her husband Michael. That is why I am upset about the whole thing.

Cheri, Oh really!? Are you sure about that if she die, He will take 1.2 million dollars??? If so.. Oh boy, obviously he is lust bloodly money for himself, don't care about his wife... he wanted to get rid of her because 1.5 million dollars he can take.. I think not so that 1.2 millions dollars he deserves... He is really LUST the MONEY, MO-MONEY's blood in his veins.. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY SAD...

There is no money left. There is no 1.2 million. No 1.5 million. I don't know why you all believe there's a million dollars for Michael to inherit when Terri dies. Even Terri's parents admit there's only about $50,000 left.

agreed. there is not much money for michael to collect after terri's upcoming death. michael was offered millions dollars to leave and hand terri to her parents but he knew that would be against terri's wish. terri's wish is to let go and die in peace. that shows that michael is not after money.

i dont know where the ideas came from about michael making profit from terri's death.

Why would you think that is what Terri wants? Just because Michael says that is her wishes, But Let me ask you this why didn't he give her therpay ten years ago, instead he left her to become worst by worst everyday. Does that show that Michael a good husband? It doesn't to me. :(

Here in FL, all that is needed a oral declaration. Therefore, what Michael says is valid. It was sufficient grounds for the Florida courts to rule that it was her wish. Also of interest, Jay Wolfson, Terri's court appointed gaurdian said last night on CNN that even if Terri had a living will stating her wish not to be connected to a feeding tube, they would not abide by it.

I'm sorry I don't believe that because she is unable to speak and how does he know that is her wishes?...

Beside this is all about what he WANTS is to be able to marry his girlfriend than being married to the wife that is laying in bed for so long...

Like I said in my early post that I don't believe anything that comes out of the husband's mouth or the sobs stories he is spreading around, he doesnt even love his wife, if he does, he wouldn't even have a girlfriend in the first place....

If I was married and had a husband like Terri's condition, I wouldn't even have a boyfriend aside....that against the marriage vows and he is unfaithful!!

I have no pity for the husband whatsoever....
 
Make short translation:

I was surprised when I read the online newspaper today so I made short translation.

A German donation wants to get the American coma patient Terri Schiavo for further supply to Germany. Awake coma specialized nurse is willing to take care of Schiavo for free charge.

I am sorry I don't buy it because she had a heart attacked 10 yrs ago, and She couldn't speak so what make you think that she told her husband instead of her own parent that her wishes should be carry out as death. If you want to believe Michael that's up to you, But I don't because he is one lying cheating snake, When you take vows its for better and for worse what did he do when Terri got worst? He left to find another woman and wants Terri dead. :roll: So, Don't tell me that is what Terri wants, I believe that is what Michael wants. :whistle:

You are right Oceanbreeze, Terri's parents have stated over and over even if Terri had a living will that specified a DNR and to not be kept alive by artificial means or if she is brain damaged they would ignore it. That is simply wrong for them to go against their daughter's wishes! That's why this is all such a muddle because the parents are going around saying even if there was a living will we'd disobey it.

What purpose does it do to have a living will if one's parents or family are going to ignore it? That's a scary thought to think that even though my living will states this or that, my family might ignore it and I'd end up in that pitiful state Terri is in! :eek2: I must talk again with my family and explain they are to under no circumstances go against my wishes. I also think I better go to a lawyer to have it legal.

This situation is really helping everyone around the world understand that if they don't want to end up like Terri with parents and/or family that refuse to obey a living will they better get it legalized.

Yes, it´s very very very important to go lawyer to make a legal than talk out of your mouth to your family or partner.
German media already warn us yesterday after watch on TV of Terri´s for 20 minutes to go LAWYER or NOTARY to make legal for you. It´s their duty to give you advise what cons/pros before prepare the will for you legally. It cost not much but it´s worth than battle in the court. It would cost Terri´s parent and Michael alot of money to battle in the court for 7 years. Terri´s case wake me and my hubby up and are going to have our preparation. It also wake German medias, too.

It will be more than $50,000 for court fee. No money leftover for Terri´s family.

So for the rest of your life you would have no sexual intercourse or any intimacy with anyone? That's pretty "brave" of you.

All he had to do was file for a divorce, and he didn't....

The parents are selfish. That's the bottom line. And, I would sincerely hope that you put your wishes in writing. I am afraid that this case will have far-reaching implications for all of us. It's my understanding that they are going to pass a law here in FL, stating that unless a person specifically addresses it in writing, tube feedings will be instituted no matter what.

I find this absolutely terrifying.

How could he file for a divorce?

How could Terri sign to have divorce agreement because she CAN´T. This is law. Nobody can do for Terri when they want divorce Michael for Terri. Law is Law.

The courts wouldn't have granted him a divorce because they have a law in place which makes it difficult to divorce a disabled spouse for fear the state will end up taking care of the disabled spouse which is going to happen if Michael divorces Terri and his health care plan doesn't cover her any more.

Michael could have divorced Terri like 6 years ago and they would still have had quite a bit of money because of the 50:50 split of any community property so Michael would have gotten a good settlement. However, again because of that law about not divorcing disabled spouse, Michael would have likely been liable to pay alimony and medical expenses. He was basically stuck being married to Terri because the law worked against him, and it still does.

It is not as cut and dried as one would like to think, this "Why doesn't he just divorce Terri?"

That's true, but still it doesn't prove that Terri told her husband that her wishes is to die and not telling her parents too, I don't believe that at all I'm sorry....
