More Facts From the Schiavo Case

Jonathan Last quotes from a 2003 Wesley Smith article about Michael Schiavo, how he told the jury in his 1993 malpractice suit of the rehabilitative therapy Terri would get, and of how, once the money ($750,000) had been awarded, he put a "do not resuscitate" order on his wife and refused to spend anything on therapy for her. This is another part of why this makes me so angry: I try to be charitable, but it's hard, when one understands the whole story, not to think that Michael had something other than what Terri would have wanted at heart when he first started pushing to have her feeding tube removed.
