I don't know all the facts and I doubt anyone will ever be able to sort it out. There is enough smoke around Micheal Shaivo that if I was the woman married to him now, I would be looking for some place to get away from him. But the slander and lies that can get started in a case like this can make decent people appear to be evil and evil people appear to be angels.
The only truth I know about the whole ordeal is that Terry Shiavo was used by a lot of people and will be continued to be used even though she is dead. The whole situation stinks of all the crud our society has become infected with. I hope Terry is living with dignity and grace now.
There are modern ways to check for brain activity, a PET scan is one way, and they were never done with Terry. These tests can be very conslusive as to cognitive avtivity of the brain. It "appears" that Micheal didn't want anyone to know if there was brain activity. But again, maybe maybe a doctor gave some bad advice or new that she was brain dead without a test. Some Doctors are sure not above playing God for for their own selfish reasons.
I would not want to be tortured as Terry was during the last years of her life. From what "information" I have heard she lived in a dreadful isolation with as little medical care and outside stimulation as legally possible.
God bless Terry Schaivo. I beleive she desrves it.
