The War on Terri Part VII

Byron York offers links to very illuminating primary documents in the Schiavo case. Particularly intriguing is the report of the temporary guardian, which points out that Michael Schiavo spent three years working with Terri's parents to get her therapy, during which he clearly maintained she would recover to some degree. Only in 1993 did he begin to agitate for her death, by which point the lawsuit against the fertility doctor had played out and her parents sought to have him removed as guardian.

What convinced Michael Schiavo at this point that his wife should die? Why didn't he reference Terri's alleged desire not to live in a profoundly disabled state until this time?

This bears some digging into.

Meanwhile, Michael Schiavo lashes out at the President and Congress:

"Come down, President Bush," Schiavo said in a telephone interview. "Come talk to me. Meet my wife. Talk to my wife and see if you get an answer. Ask her to lift her arm to shake your hand. She won't do it."

She won't, Schiavo said, because she can't.

Anyone still wondering why this man's become so hated?
