Soul-less Michael

Let's play devil's advocate and say that Michael Schiavo is telling the truth when he claims Terri would not want to continue living as she is. In the past few days, news has come out claiming that Terri has recently made attempts to indicate "I want to live." If Michael is the loving husband he claims to be and his sole motivation for each and every one of his actions is to fulfill Terri's wishes, would it not behoove him to have her feeding tube reinserted, pending further investigation of her condition? Alot of pressure has been placed on Governor Bush, President Bush, Congress, the Florida Supreme Court, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the infamous Judge Greer who was the arbiter of the final directive to disconnect her in the first place. Legally the burden may, indeed, rest with them. But, what about morally? Is it moral that Michael prohibited Terri, a Catholic, from receiving Communion this holy day of Easter? And what about the possibility that there may be a level of consciousness inside Terri of which current medical scholars are not aware? Sure, it may be a long-shot, but wouldn't you want your relatives to explore this long-shot if you were in Terri's position? Is it moral that Michael would not exercise every possible avenue to explore any means possible to revitalize or rehabilitate the wife he claims to love? Sure, public opinion polls indicate they are on the side of Michael, but do these polls really matter? It would appear that Michael's philosophy is "kill her at any cost." With a relative like this, who needs enemies. Sadly, time is running out for Terri. It would appear that Michael's desires to dispose of Terri and have her cremated are likely to come to fruition sometime this week. The responsibility for her premature demise are not on Governor Bush, et al. The responsibility for her death lies squarely on Michael's shoulders and we may never know the true story. He has stolen Terri from her parents, preventing them from the loving interaction which may have helped her in the first place. I hope he has a nice life with his new wife. Chalk one up for the bad guys.
