From Terrisfight.org:
In a desperate effort to get the attention of someone who could stop this court-sanctioned death, the Schindler family has released a video of Terri that they took some 24 months ago, showing Terri laughing with her mother.
Because of this, Mr. Schiavo’s attorneys have ordered that Terri may no longer have visitors. Not even her mother and father are allowed to see her or to even say goodbye to her.

This is so awful. I cannot know what goes on in Mr. Schiavo’s mind, but has anyone ever seen him show love and care for his wife since his earlier testimony aimed at getting money to “take care of” her? More like the opposite, from what little we know. Is he even going to say goodbye? It’s like a statement is being made about the value of life here, and even if the Schindlers are more than willing to assume a “burden” others might not it’s still more important to assert that she’s not worth it. That might imply that others have the obligation to assume similar burdens. Letting them say goodbye isn’t worth appearing to agree that she is still a person. What can you expect in a society where people argue about how much like an adult a baby has to be before she has the right not to be killed?
Well, it says that they can visit her if Mr. Schiavo is there. I know, not an ideal solution.
if he lets them in.
It doesn’t make any sense that he should be her guardian because he’s her husband, but there’s no thought about whether he has her interest in mind as a husband should when he’s so deeply involved with this other woman.
