Can someone PLEASE do an autopsy on her parents?

As if this story isn't sad enough, Gov. Bush is sticking his nose back into it...

Gov. Bush wants probe of Schiavo collapse

Bloody hell! These guys are really starting to p**s me off!!

Leave the poor sod alone!

He probably guessed as closed to the time as he could remember. I know that the last thing I will be looking at is a clock if my wife was to collapse. When asked, I would have to take a guess and be as accurate as I could...but am pretty sure that I would contradict myself somewhere along the line.

Stupid governer.

Here is an excerpt from the article about Bush that VulcanRider linked to...

"I understand that these events took place many years ago, and that you may not be able to collect all the relevant records and physical evidence. However, Mrs. Schiavo's family deserves to know anything that can be done to determine the cause and circumstances of her collapse 15 years ago," Bush wrote. "The unanswered questions may be unanswerable, but the attempt should be made.

I've highlighted the sentence that I feel is the crux of the ENTIRE controversy surrounding Terri Schaivo. Her parents - for whatever reason - simply CANNOT ACCEPT that their daughter was bolemic and that sometimes, CRAP HAPPENS!!!

There AREN'T any "unanswered questions" regarding Terri's collapse and resulting medical condition. The case has been exhaustively reviewedfor 15 years. Terri had bulemia(sp?), which meant she was starving herself. This caused her body to involuntarily "shut down", resulting in her collapse and subsequent loss of oxygen to the brain. And that is what led to the irreversible brain damage her parents have refused to believe she suffered for the last decade and a half.

I admit I was not surprised at all to see that her parents did NOT accept the autopsy result. They have proven they are simply incapable of accepting the fact that a very bad thing happened to her daughter and that it was NOBODY'S FAULT!!!!

While her parents will never admit Michael was innocent, I have to agree with Darlon in my curiosity to see if the IW members that were so critical of Michael will be willing to admit they were wrong.

Schiavo's Remains Interred in Florida

The cremated remains of Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman who died after her feeding tube was removed in March, were buried Monday in a Clearwater cemetery.

The burial failed, however, to bring a close to the Schiavo saga. Instead, acrimony flared anew, with her parents complaining that they were not notified beforehand about the service.

Michael Schiavo, who said he promised his wife he would not keep her alive artificially and waged a long legal battle to remove her feeding tube, had the words "I kept my promise" inscribed on her bronze grave marker.

The marker also lists February 25, 1990 -- the day she collapsed and fell into what most doctors said was an irreversible vegetative state -- as the date Schiavo "departed this Earth."

Schiavo actually died March 31, [2005] nearly two weeks after her feeding tube was removed by court order. The marker lists that date as when Schiavo was "at peace."

There's more in the article, but these were the high points...
