3. Okay, I'll try to do my best.
First of all, I have to ask: What does Mr. Schiavo have to gain, besides marrying his girlfriend? He seems to have moved on in that regard; marriage would do little else but make it official.

As to her condition, I will cite an impartial lawyer who does work on the Schiavo case for Court TV.

Go down to Questions and Answers, then to the question "What about the Schindlers' claims that Terri is conscious and responds to stimulation?"

I think it explains pretty well the conclusions the courts have come to in determining Terri Schiavo's state.

I think the parents are being misinformed and outright lied to by the religious fundamentalists who surround them. After reading opinion after opinion, I cannot see how someone with knowledge of what Terri Schiavo has become could possibly think that there is some viable course of treatment.

As to your first P.S., it is not about what Michael Schiavo or the Schindlers want. It is about what Terri Schiavo would have wanted had she a say in the matter--and court after court has determined that being kept alive by these means was not her wish.
