I think this will be spun to portray Mr. Schaivo in a bad light. But, they could not all be in the same room without killing each other. Plus, he was her husband The whole thing is just so messed up. I mean that it came to this makes me so angry at the world and reaffirms my faith in getting it all in writing beforehand.
This whole thing IS messed up. GET IT IN WRITING, PEOPLE!!

The legal/moral/political issues in this case have affected me in a way that few other issues like this have. It is hard for me not to personalize this in one way or another because my youngest sister is mentally disabled due to lack of oxygen during her birth. I have always been so protective of her because I have seen her treated so many times as less of a person due to her disability. She will never read, drive or be able to live independently, which is something that she NEVER asked for. This is just a hard, hard issue.
