A new book
While I was browsing at my local Borders bookstore, I came upon a book written by Jon B Eisenberg titled "Using Terri-How the Right Wing Tries to Take Away Your Rights." Mr Eisenberg was one of the Lawyers for Michael Schiavo. He takes to task quite a few people including: the Schindler family, Jeb Bush, GWB, Randall Terry and Tom Delay. Mr Eisenberg also wrote about the hardships of the Florida judge who made the final decisions regarding removing the feeding tube from Ms Schiavo. This book also starts of with three cased regarding the Right to Die issue. One of them was the Karen Ann Quinlan case. Mr Eisenberg also wrote how this Right to Die issue affected him personnaly. He had a distant cousin that he was very close to go through the same thing. Her circumstances were different than Ms Schiavo's.

2. Eh, Don't Know About Bashing The Schindlers
I am very angry at Randall Terry and the Bushes, Frists, etc. - but I don't really hold anything against the Schindlers, I kind of sympathize with them. It is perfectly understandable that they didn't want to let their daughter go, can any of us be sure we wouldn't have some of the same feelings? I think they saw signs of improvement because they wanted to see that. Again, perfectly understandable

But then all these beastly people came along and manipulated and used the Schindlers to promote their own agenda. That's just plain evil if you ask me, because they didn't help the Schindlers heal, only gave them more grief.

3. I guess I should have clarified that statement.
Mr Eisenberg talked about how Mr Schindler wanted some of the money that Michael Schiavo won in the lawsuit.
