Let her go
I’ve resisted typing about the Shiavo case (why can’t anyone pronounce her name correctly?)
I have to agree with Bill O’Reilly, tho, and that is, it’s time for the husband to let her go back into her parents’ care. If what he says is true about her wishes, we can only say he is devoted and caring on the surface. On the other hand, he should let her parents err on the side of life.
I don’t believe she’s actually “in there”, but why punish her parents who believe she is? They bore the child, and she is their blood, so let them take over.
This case should have never escalated to where it is today. It’s amazing how far people can take a fight with the in-laws.
Despite two setbacks in the same federal appeals court yesterday, the parents of Terri Schiavo clung to hope last night after Governor Jeb Bush suggested Florida’s Adult Protective Services would attempt to take custody of the severely brain-damaged woman.
