Not to mention that the media is totally misportraying this. As much as
I tend to be critical of rense.com, they have some videos of Schiavo
with her parents and she is clearly concious, aware, emotionally
reactive, and was even able to say "Hi". She is not a vegetable, brain
dead, or in a coma despite what her husband's attorneys say. She is
clearly severely handicapped and in need of therapy, which her husband
has denied in order to keep her in as poor condition as possible.
