AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the autopsy results of Terri Schiavo, which confirmed that she was in a persistent vegetative state with severe brain atrophy, contradicting her parents' beliefs about her condition. Despite the findings, her parents remain in denial and continue to pursue legal action against her husband, who argued for her right to die. Participants express frustration over the media's handling of the case and the political implications it carried, emphasizing the need for clear living wills to prevent such controversies. The conversation highlights the emotional turmoil faced by the family, particularly the parents' inability to accept the reality of their daughter's condition, and raises concerns about the ethical implications of keeping individuals alive against their wishes. The impact of religious and political influences on the case is also a significant point of contention, with calls for more defined legal standards regarding life support and end-of-life decisions.

Schiavo widower battles politicians over privacy

Michael Schiavo has formed a PAC in his dead wifes name and is going after the politicians that used the tragedy to advance their own careers.

“I want to ask Marilyn Musgrave who gave her the right to speak about Terri,” Schiavo said. “Who gave her the authority to bring Congress into my family decisions?”

And here is what the politicians are saying.

State GOP chairman Bob Martinez criticized Schiavo’s involvement in Colorado, saying he thinks most residents “were appalled to learn that Michael Schiavo is helping political candidates profit off his wife’s death.”

But Peggy Lamm, another Democratic congressional candidate, said she is proud of Schiavo’s support.

“He wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for the shameful way the Schiavos were treated by the Bush administration and the Republicans in Congress,” she said in a statement.
Looks like Michael is not going to let people forget what Bush and the GOP did to him last year.
