(By Bobby Schindler / LifeNews.com) – What if my sister Terri Schiavo’s husband, Michael Schiavo, had treated Terri as a person with God-given dignity rather than a “prognosis” he considered a burden?
For those who may not remember, in February 1990, at age 26, Terri sustained a serious brain injury for reasons that remain unknown. As a result, she ended up having difficulty swallowing and requiring a feeding tube to provide her with food and water. As Terri’s husband and appointed guardian, Michael’s duty was to guarantee her safety and care for her.
However, Michael viewed his wife’s condition as an inconvenience and petitioned the courts to end her life. This triggered a decade-long legal battle, with my parents defending Terri against Michael’s intentions and a prognosis rooted in an unscientific and unreliable medical diagnosis. CONTINUE
