The law will not allow her husband to get a divorce because she is not of sound mind and can not agree or contest to the filing

I think Congress should have been addressing the right for Mr. Schavio to have a divorce granted so he could let the parents take care of their child. I could not imagine how hard it has been for the parents to watch their daughter for these past 15 years not get better. I watched my son get worse for 9 months with Leukemia and finally die at the age of 11. It was terrible, but I knew he was in pain and I wanted it to stop. In Terri's case she is not showing any signs of pain.

The husband will benefit from her death by being able to marry the woman he has two children with.

I appreciate what you wrote. After watching my severely disabled child suffer from Leukemia and knowing that I could stop all his liquids to speed up his death, I know what her parents will go through. This husband does not want the word to know he can not divorce this woman because the law will not permit him to. This is what the case is all about. If the parents say she reacts to them then let that be for them.

I want to clarify what a braindead person is. This is a person who is only being kept alive by a machine. This woman is not being kept a live by a machine. She is unable to swallow and this is why she is being fed with a tube. I had a son who was severly disabled and unable to care for himself but he still was a human. The main issue is not if this woman's parents should ask that she be kept alive it is rather her husband should have the right to kill her. What most people do not know is Mr. Shavio can not get a divorce as long as she is in this medical state. He wants to be able to move on with the woman he has children with and most likely marry her.
