Terri Schiavo: Things aren't always what they seem

You may have heard about the man, Robert Herring Sr., who offered $1 million to Michael Schiavo to give up his claims on his wife's life. Michael rejected the offer; his attorney, George Felos, said it was "offensive".

And I have to admit, it was. Bargaining over a woman's life is not a pretty sight.

What makes it worse is that it wasn't an altruistic move on Robert Herring's part. There was an ulterior motive: He was a prime mover behind the Cloing-for-Stem-Cells initiative that was passed last fall in California (bad move, morally and financially, by CA voters).

The $1 million bid was just a cheap publicity stunt.

Yes, good post Mary E.

Do you have any idea what is going on with Terri now?

How can her parents stand by and let her starve to death? How could a judge in his/her right mind convict them for the "crime" of saving a human life?

What is this country coming to???
