For Better or Worse

I've been avoiding commenting on the Terri Schiavo case, but since Phins says exactly what I want to say, I'll let him do that talking for me on this one.

Note: Fox News is reporting that Terri's parents have filed for divorce against Michael Schiavo on the grounds of adultery and not acting in his wife's best interests. As Michael Schiavo has had two children with another woman since he has been married to Terri the adultery charge is solid beyond doubt, and there would seem to be strong grounds that Mr. Schiavo is not acting in Terri's best interests by wanting her dead (trying to kill someone is usually considered against their best interests).

Quite frankly, I'm surprised this approach hasn't been tried before, though I don't know the legal rights of parents to conduct a divorce on behalf of an adult child under these circumstances.

The divorce proceedings, if allowed to continue, would cast a most critical light on Michael Schiavo.

If he only wants out of Terri's life so he can continue with his new family, a divorce gives him that option. If, however, he is after the remaining money from the 1992 malpractice case, then he will be revealed as the calculating killer many suspect that he may be.
