remaining married to her so as to cash in on a nice inheritance
According to her parents' website:
quote:
In October, 1998, Schiavo's attorney proposed that, if Terri's parents would agree to her death by starvation, Schiavo would donate his inheritance to charity.
quote:
In 1992, Terri was awarded nearly one million dollars by a malpractice jury and an out-of-court malpractice settlement which was designated for future medical expenses. Of these funds, less than $50,000 remains today.
And this from the people who have the most highly vested interest in keeping her alive.
Ten seconds on google dispels the idea that the man is greedily slobbering over a million-buck payoff. Do your research before making an accusation like that.

Heh heh. I like this one, myself.
