And...you have a recording of the conversation?
Its hearsay and speculation, thats all. In fact, Mr Schiavo didnt mention his little conversation to ANYONE until 7 years later...thats right...by then he had a girlfriend and 2 kids. Makes one wonder why he waited 7 long years and then suddenly remembered his conversation with Terri. hmm?

Shots, I know its about money.
I'm having a hard time separating the money, the politics and the human issue.
Whatever, it didnt seem important untill 7 years later.
This is nuts.
Yes, you are absolutely correct, Marg. I'm a slow lerner

Terry will be forgotten while the repercussion of any laws passed will be for the rest of of to deal with.
We will find out sooner or later as to what extent we have given up one more piece of our liberties in the name of Terry, Pro-live, and religious fundamentalist.

Congress Pushes for Federal Review of Schiavo
Saturday, March 19, 2005
WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders hoped a deal reached Saturday would clear the way for a brain-damaged woman to resume being fed while a federal court reviews the right-to-die battle between her parents and her husband.
"We think we have found a solution" to the Terri Schiavo case, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (search), R-Texas, said at a Capitol Hill (search) news conference.
"We are confident this compromise addresses everyone's concerns, we are confident it will provide Mrs. Schiavo a clear and appropriate avenue for appeal in federal court, and most importantly, we are confident this compromise will restore nutrition and hydration to Mrs. Schiavo as long as that appeal endures," he said.
Final approval was hoped for Sunday when the House planned to meet in a special session, he said. The Senate intended to meet Saturday evening on the matter.
President Bush (search) was expected to sign the bill as soon as it gets to him.
All is not lost

Doesn't it bother anyone that the federal government is interfering with the sanctity of marriage by going over her wishes as relayed by her husband?
Doesn't it bother anyone that the federal government is once AGAIN stomping on states' rights? And further eroding states' autonomy?
We slip further and further away from the intent of our Founding Fathers.
