Vindication for Michael Schiavo (and for Medical Science over Religious Fanaticism)!

Dr Jon Thogmartin (R) and Dr Stephen Nelson reporting their findings on Terri Schiavo’s autopsy during a press conference on Wednesday.

Doctors who performed an autopsy on the body of Terri Schiavo (erstwhile political mascot for the religious right) vindicated what her husband Michael Schiavo and medical experts have been saying for over a decade, and, what ipinions expressed as the only dignified resolution to her plight: that the wretched taxidermic corpse that her parents and cravenly opportunistic politicians were defending as a living being was, in fact, deaf, dumb, blind, hopelessly paralyzed and terminally brain dead. And, that her parents should respect Mr Schiavo’s duty to honour his wife’s wish to die with dignity.

Moreover, the doctors absolved Mr Schiavo of the spurious charges that he hastened her death by denying adequate care and that he inflicted physical abuse upon his wife during her persistent vegetative state of existence.

For any sane person, of course, these definitive findings would provide the necessary closure to allow Terri rest in peace, finally. Not so for her terminally deluded parents. Because they and their fanatical right to life enablers now insist that these pathologists have joined the conspiracy concocted by their former son-in-law many years ago to rid himself of responsibility for Terri’s death and legitimize his relationship with another (living) woman.

And we thought it was Terri who was brain dead…

Hey Michael, turn your back on these necrophiliacs, hold your head up high and get on with your life. Terri appreciates your heroic struggle and devoted husbands of the world salute you!
