Terri's Father Says Visitors are Searched, Watched When Visiting Terri
Terri Schiavo's father, Robert Schindler, discussed what happens when he or other family members go to visit their daughter who is being slowly and painfully starved to death (in violation of the 8th Amendment of the Constitution in my opinion) by court order. They must be searched and are watched. She is NOT a prisoner. This is what happens when one visits a PRISONER in a correctional facility. How humiliating. And what is even worse is that this is all optional. This is all due to a court case based on Michael Schiavo's goal to allow his wife to slowly starve to death and be dehyradted (of course let's note that he had children with another woman while married to Terri). Why can't they bring anything in to the hospice room such as a camera, tape recorder, etc.? Clearly, if Terri is truly in a "persistent vegetative state" such photographs and recordings will only BENEFIT Michael Schiavo's case. They cannot bring food or water to the room because Judge Greer ruled they cannot introduce food or liquid orally. Again, if Terri is truly in a "PVS" she would not be able to swallow. This would HELP Michael's case if she could not swallow. So, why does Greer not allow any food or water to be introduced orally? This is merciless in my opinion.
