Doesn't this story basically mean that the religious rightwing morons have been lying through their teeth all along in claiming that the husband is motivated by greed?

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The husband of a brain-damaged woman being kept alive by a feeding tube has turned down a $1 million offer to let his wife's parents decide her medical treatment.

Michael Schiavo decided to reject the offer by California businessman Robert Herring, Schiavo's lawyer, George Felos, said Friday. He had until Monday to make up his mind.

Felos said his client has received similar offers -- including one for $10 million -- regarding the care to Terri Schiavo, 41, who has been in what court-appointed doctors call a persistent vegetative state since suffering a heart attack 15 years ago.

Michael Schiavo contends he once promised his wife he would not keep her alive by artificial means.

1. Apparently he has rejected a $10M offer also

3. $10 million for one brain-dead life...

That amount of money could feed a lot of hungry kids and buy medicine for a lot of poor people.

2. How about donating that $1m to armor for Humvees, Robert?

Your money would certainly go further to protect human life that actually has a cerebral cortex...

5. I say he should buy new brains

for Terri's parents and all their supporters who appear to lack an understanding of how a brain actually functions.
