Is anyone else as creeped out by this Michael Schiavo character as I am? I understand the argument that no one would want to live in a vegetative state is compelling, but without a written statement of her wishes, the zeal with which he is pursuing her demise is downright gruesome. I see today that he has moved his poor wife to an undisclosed location so her parents can't visit her and denied them any information on her condition. He has also barred her Priest from visiting.

Meanwhile, his lawyers are pursuing a court order to remove food and water from her. Finally, he can't account for how he spent the considerable malpractice settlement he won years ago, and he stands to receive a life insurance benefit on Terri's passing.

The right thing for this man to do is relinquish guardianship of his wife to her family; he has too much to gain from her death, and his morbid, divisive behaviors have tainted his credibility.
