I am betting that there is money involved.
If it
wasn't... why wouldn't he just divorce the
woman and wash his hands of
the whole thing?

I
don't have a problem with him finding another...
I was just trying to
point out what the parents are
probably thinking when the husband is the
one
that gets to choose and chooses to kill her...

PINELLAS PARK,
Florida (CNN) -- The feeding tube was removed Wednesday from a woman
who has been in a coma-like state since 1990, beginning a process that could
take up to two weeks to bring about her death.
But the parents of
Terri Schiavo, 39, remained optimistic that Gov. Jeb Bush still could
intervene and order the feeding tube re-inserted.
The parents, Mary
and Bob Schindler, have been in a long fight to keep their daughter alive.
They have been opposed by Schiavo's husband and legal guardian, Michael
Schiavo, who has said his wife would never have wanted to remain alive in
such a state.
"I just haven't given up hope yet," Mary Schindler told
reporters outside the hospice where her daughter has been living.
Bob
Schindler said this of Michael Schiavo, his daughter's husband: "He's going
to live with this a lot longer than we will. That's his conscience, and his
girlfriend's conscience."
The feeding tube was to be removed at 2
p.m., and an attorney for Michael Schiavo confirmed its
removal.
Randall Terry, president for the Society for Truth and
Justice, has acted as a family spokesman. Terry is co-founder of the
anti-abortion group Operation Rescue.
"It's an outrage," Terry said.
"She's being starved to death. We would not treat an animal like this and
we're hoping that Gov. Bush intervenes."
The two parents met
Wednesday with Bush in a final push to get the governor to intervene. Bob
Schindler said the meeting was positive and that Bush said he would have
"his staff explore every, every possibility."
"We felt a lot better
when we left the interview with him," Bob Schindler said. "He is a fine,
fine man and he has high integrity and I have confidence in
him."
Terry said the key question they put to the governor was: "Does
the chief executive officer of this state have the authority under the
constitution to intervene if he believes that an innocent person is being
killed, even if it is happening under the color of law?"
Terri
Schiavo has been in what the courts call a persistent vegetative state since
collapsing at her home from heart failure in 1990. The heart failure
temporarily cut off oxygen to her brain and caused massive brain
damage.
Michael Schiavo asked to have the feedings of his wife
discontinued, claiming she had made clear in the past she did not want to
live on life support.
According to her parents' Web site,
www.terrisfight.org, Terri Schiavo left no will or other written
instructions.
Terry Schiavo can open her eyes. Her parents say she
can laugh, cry and make noises. But people in such a state occasionally
grimace, cry or laugh, according to the National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Stroke.
The feeding tube was removed one time
previously for 60 hours before it was reinserted under court order. The
father said he hoped that would happen again, but added, "The longer this
goes, the more concerned I'll be."
Outside the hospice, dozens of
people held signs, sang hymns and chanted slogans such as "Who will be
next?" and "It could be your daughter." One sign read, "Let her live!"
Another said, "Stay Terri's Execution."
Doctors and medical experts
testified in previous court proceedings it may take up to two weeks for
Terri Schiavo to die once the tube is removed.
On Tuesday, the 2nd
Florida District Court of Appeal in Lakeland refused to block a probate
judge's order to remove the feeding tube. Florida's Supreme Court has twice
refused to hear the case. The U.S. Supreme Court also declined to hear it in
2001.
Michael Schiavo has collected more than $1 million from
settlements and court awards, money the Schindlers claim should have been
used for rehabilitative care.
Michael Schiavo says the Schindlers'
comments stem from anger because they didn't receive any money from the
malpractice suit.
He said 18 doctors had examined his wife over the
past 13 years, and she has been to several hospitals. She even had a brain
stimulator placed in her head but showed no progress, he
said.
