Greetings, tres borrachos. :2wave:
If I recall, it was her parents who wanted her to be kept alive, because she was somewhat cognizant and aware of things, and I can't say I fault them. Her husband was the one who wanted to pull the plug, and we later learned his motivations! It became a case of family in-fighting which went to court, and Florida decided on the side of keeping her alive. She had not committed a crime - why should the State be put in the position of being the executioner of someone who had done nothing wrong? If I were Jeb Bush, I would have made the same decision! Miracles may not be commonplace, but they do occur!
This is what a mean that there was a campaign of lies against the husband, about her and about her parents - and now people like you recite those as facts, when the are lies.
It was first a guardian ad litum for her who agreed to discontinue the pointless forced preservation of her body. The court decided exactly opposite what you posted.
And you lie on behalf of the parents. They 100% agreed with her husband being in charge and agreed with him on everything UNTIL there was a malpractice court judgment. They demanded he give them part of the judgment and he refused. It was then and only then they opposed life support machines be turned off - this years later.
What the parents wanted, their motive, was clear. There was a $750,000 trust set up Terry Shiavo. They wanted her husband to divorce so he could remarry - and then THEY would inherit them money. Otherwise they wouldn't. It was nearly EIGHT years before they disagreed because now there was money at stake for them. Of course, you left that truth our too.
It is a 100% lie that "she was somewhat cognizant and aware of things." In fact, her brain had nearly completely dissolved away, which not only was confirmed by EIGHT experts, but also then confirmed at her autopsy. The motive of her parents to lie was simple, MONEY.
Anyway, just keep posting what are outright lies diametrically opposite from the truth if that makes you feel good or matches your partisan support of Jeb Bush.
I think it is was absolutely despicable and a total abuse of power that for THIRTEEN YEARS her brain dead body was rotting away as her parents tried to find anyway to make money off her and then to gain favor Jeb Bush concocted massive lies at ever level, defying what the doctors, the guardian ad litum appointed for her and what the courts ruled by which Jeb Bush declared that he, only he and no one else, can ever decide whether or not to discontinue life support on a brain dead person. I can not recall any politician as wrongly and viciously using the sufferings of others for a campaign of grotesque lies for his political agenda.
However, I do understand you would never sign a living will and would want your brainless body kept on machines decades after decade no matter the psychological, emotion, legal and monetary costs to your family members.
