Doctors say she (Terri Schiavo) is in a persistent vegetative state with no hope of recovery. Her husband has insisted she never wanted to live in such a condition, and criticized House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who helped broker the congressional compromise.
Is Stacy a raving incompetent, or is he a deliberate liar, or perhaps both? Numerous doctors and therapists have submitted statements and/or testimony to the court that Terri Schiavo is not in a "persistent vegetative state", as Terrisfight.org observes:
Dr. Victor Gambone testified that he visits Terri 3 times a year. His visits last for approximately 10 minutes. He also testified, after viewing the court videotapes at Terri’s recent trial, that he was surprised to see Terri’s level of awareness. This doctor is part of a team hand-picked by her husband, Michael Schiavo, shortly before he filed to have Terri’s feeding removed. Contrary to Schiavo’s team, 14 independent medical professionals (6 of them neurologists) have given either statements or testimony that Terri is NOT in a Persistent Vegetative State. Additionally, there has never been any medical dispute of Terri’s ability to swallow. Even with this compelling evidence, Terri’s husband, Michael Schiavo, has denied any form of therapy for her for over 10 years.
It would require very little time of this reporter to examine Terri's parents' website, where he could discover these facts and view videotape that irrefutably proves that Terri is not in anything remotely similar to a "persistent vegetative state" -- but that would not further the liberal media's agenda of redefining the purpose of life in hedonistic and functionalistic terms. The media establishment views Terri as nothing more than a social liability, one that must be disposed of. They know that the stakes are high in this battle, so the drum-beat goes on: Terri must die, Terri must die. Click here to complain to the Associated Press.
