Appeals court: Terri Schiavo parents cannot intervene - Page 67 - Big Big Forums

I think he didn't do it in the begining because he felt that there was still hope. The court case was decided the day that she went to the hospital and things went wrong. She didn't have to be kept alive for that. I honestly believe that he had hope in the begining that she would get better. He did have her in some great facilities and he paid dearly for them. But I think that just like anyone he had to come to the realization that she wasn't going to get any better. That she wasn't going to just wake up one morning and come home. And when he was able to accept that, he was ready to let go. Her parents didn't agree.

If she had died at the hospital, he would have collected even more because the hospital and the doctors would have then been responsible for her death.

So it would have been ok in the beginning to starve her to death, but it is murder 15 years later??????

All I have to say is I believed it when we were told she was brain dead. (so many just wouldn't believe it) When the reports said that yes indeed she was brain dead, I had to say I am glad she was finally "allowed" to pass and pass in a PAINLESS way. She was not with us, she was brain dead. I hope some of these angry people (that are all over the place) can move on, and stop using her memory as a way to put others down because you believed it to be "wrong". Sure you may not have liked it but to use her memory in such hateful ways is just so sad

She is finally where she belongs and is one happy camper

And probably doing cartwheels!

No one is saying it's would be murder now but not when she needed the feeding tube to begin with. But I would believe him more that she didn't want to live that way if he had told the doctors she said that when they first inserted the feeding tube. Fifteen years later is way too long to or even a year is too long to suddenly remember she once said it.

Mark Furhman had written a book on just what happened the morning of Terri's collapse. Her husband said he waited about 40 minutes to call for help and then he called her father. Why not call 911 as soon as he found her. Many questions the family wants answered,

Seems to me the family wants more than answers. And yes you and others have said it is murder now thats the whole problem. Thats the reason their was an autopsy done to find out if there was a chance that she could have recovered, if the autopsy would have ended up with different results you best believe, her family, would have pushed for murder charges. And he didn't just up one day and decide I am sick of looking at her so I have to end this, oh yeah she said she didn't want to live this way. In the beginning he didn't think she was "gone" he thought there was hope. Through time and countless doctors saying she wouldn't recover, then is when he decided to end her body's life. It wasn't out of the blue or with malice. He was just defeated.
