Jeb Bush enacted a special law to have it reinserted

In his first interview since the latest round of legal fighting in the highly publicized case, Michael Schiavo said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” that he continues to fight to end Terri Schiavo’s life because her wishes were not to be kept alive artificially.

“He’s always wanted the money,” Schiavo said of his father-in-law, Bob Schindler. “He wants the money. He wants the control.”

Terri’s parents have often suggested the same is true of Michael Schiavo and on their web site, terrisfight.org, there is an extensive discussion of the $1.9 million won in Terri Schiavo’s malpractice case and the fact that Michael Schiavo is the one who would inherit it when she dies.

Terri Schiavo, 39, has been in what doctors call “a persistent vegetative state” since 1990 when a chemical imbalance, brought on by an eating disorder, caused her heart to stop and deprived her brain of oxygen.

Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, believe their daughter could be rehabilitated and do not believe she had any wishes to not be kept on life support.

Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube was removed for 카지노사이트 six days earlier this month before the Florida Legislature and Gov. Jeb Bush enacted a special law to have it reinserted. The move touched off an international debate over the Schiavo case and right-to-die issues.

Terri Schiavo is being treated at a Pinellas Park hospice while her husband’s attorney and the American Civil Liberties Union prepare to challenge the constitutionality of “Terri’s Law.” The first filings in that legal fight are now expected on Wednesday.

Michael Schiavo denied that he has withheld therapy from his wife, saying he once took her to California for an experimental therapy in which a stimulator was implanted in her brain. It didn’t work, he said.

He also answered criticism that he has abandoned his wife for a girlfriend with whom he has one child and another on the way. Schiavo said his girlfriend is supportive of his care for Terri Schiavo.

“This is Terri’s wish,” he said of the removal of the feeding tube. “And I am going to follow that if this is the last thing I can do for Terri,” Michael Schiavo said.
