Terri Schiavo's Parents Seek Divorce on Her Behalf

[Pie]

Here's something weird I found on Wikipedia:

Hydranencephaly
This is a rare condition in which the cerebral hemispheres are absent and replaced by sacs filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Usually the cerebellum and brainstem are formed normally. An infant with hydranencephaly may appear normal at birth. The infant's head size and spontaneous reflexes such as sucking, swallowing, crying, and moving the arms and legs may all seem normal.
[...]
Diagnosis may be delayed for several months because the infant's early behavior appears to be relatively normal. [...]
The outlook for children with hydranencephaly is poor. Death generally occurs before age 1.

How strange!
I personally think the parents are off their rocker -- there's nothing left but the brainstem. Besides which, they have no rights at all in this case. When you get married, your legal next-of-kin is your spouse. That's just one of the many legal changes that you've just entered into.
If you don't trust your spouse, file a medical power of attorney. I know a person who did just that, and given his mother the poa because his wife would have tried to keep him alive.
Terri didn't get a medical power of attorney. Therefore her husband gets to make all the calls. Period.
