Husband is looking for freedom:    Jaklyn Brown Editor-in-chief     First, I don´t think all the facts are being presented in the news or to the people directly involved in the case. I think some of the statements are one-sided and that people believe whatever they think is right. I think that is important to say before I say what I think. I am sure that I don´t have all the facts.Who can when all the facts aren´t there? Obviously, the courts think they can. To be blunt - because that is the kind of person I am  - I think the husband is full of bologna. I think he just wants the money out of the deal, and that is what he is getting or already has.  He already won the malpractice suit, and I think that is why he is saying the feeding tube should be pulled out. I think the reason he is saying that is because he doesn´t want to feel guilty about being with his new family. I believe he thinks if his wife is dead, he will be free. I hope that is not true, but I reall

Too many unanswered questions:  DanielÁ McCoy Starving an animal to death is an offense you can be fined for and/or serve jail time for, but the courts in Florida have decided in the case of Terri Schiavo that it is OK to do such a thing to humans. As far as I am concerned, Michael Schiavo should leave her alone. He has proven in his actions that he cares nothing for her. Marriage is forever, and he has been living with another women in adultery for years and even has two children with her. He should just divorce Terri and let her parents handle it since that is what they have said they want to do at no expense to him. The question is: What should happen to Terri Schiavo? All in all, there still are too many questions not answered. If he really loved her, he would let her parents take care of her for as long as they feel there is hope. I hope and pray that she comes out of it. With prayer and God, I believe in miracles.So if it is God´s will, she will open her mouth one day and t

Media needs to tell us all the facts:   Melissa Bennett  A&E Editor: After doing my own research, I found the press really wasn´t covering this case to the fullest extent. I am not blaming the press, but someone needs to be a voice for this woman. Somewhere, there is something wrong, and someone needs to find it. According to terrisfight.org, the only real
Media needs to tell us all the facts: Melissa Bennett A&E Editor: After doing my own research, I found the press really wasn´t covering this case to the fullest extent. I am not blaming the press, but someone needs to be a voice for this woman. Somewhere, there is something wrong, and someone needs to find it. According to terrisfight.org, the only real "problem" with this woman is that she cannot feed herself. Granted, she may never get her life back to the way it was before her accident. She will never live on her own, drive a car or make a run to the store. She may always need constant care. But that is no reason to let her die. There are mentally handicapped people who have to be hand-fed, and no one is out to kill them. What is the difference between Michael Schiavo and a murderer? He is killing his wife with public and judicial allowance. My God, what has this country come to?

Cheating husband to gain:  John Sluder Ranger: If Mrs. Schiavo´s parents want to spoon-feed her for the rest of their lives, minus a God-sent miracle, more power to them. Her cheating husband stands to gain a lot of money if he receives his wish that his wife be taken off her feeding tube. The guy has two children with his girlfriend, whom he lives with and started dating a year and a half after his wife´s unexplained condition. Maybe, just maybe, someone has an agenda here. I would turn her care over to her parents, who obviously love her no matter what condition she´s in.

Let her parents care for her:  Estaban  Silva News Editor:    For a man to deny his loving wife a chance to live only to get rich off of her is unethical.  The tyrant husband of Terri Schiavo is concerned only about the $1.7 million he has control of for the time being. I support the parents of Terri, the Schindlers, who are in a constant uphill battle with Michael over custody, who believe he won´t let go due to the high dollar amount of the lawsuit and who are demanding full custody. The Florida Supreme Court has denied a law pushed by their own governor, Jeb Bush, to allow the feeding tubes to keep Terri alive. I don´t see how the court can rule that act to be unconstitutional but watching a man let his wife die with no compassion isn´t. I think the court should order the coldhearted husband to divorce his wife, whom he doesn´t love, given that for the past nine years he has lived with his girlfriend, who is the mother of his two kids and has no relation with
