Terri Schiavo on Larry King tonight

Terri Schiavo's parents will appear on Larry King Live tonight. As many of you know, Micheal Schiavo, Terri's husband (in the legal sense), has been trying to kill her for a while now and the Florida courts continue to try and help him. Meanwhile, Terri Schiavo's parents are trying desperately to save their daughter's life. It will be interesting to see where Larry King takes this interview . . .

I think this is a defining case for Americans and euthanasia. Can a husband kill his sick wife? Can he do it if he has no real evidence that she wanted to be killed? Is he still her guardian if he has moved on and joined an entirely new family? Much prayer is needed.

You can find more details on the case at CURE's blog.

Hat tip to Fr. Rob at Thrownback and Amy Welborn (again) at Open Book.

God bless,
Jay

UPDATE: Kudos to the Schindler's Attorney, who id an excellent job of explaining the situation. I also finally heard a reasonable explanation of why Michael won't simply turn her over to her parents: she might explain what happened in that mysterious "accident" that the police felt should be investigated by homocide.

Jay,

We slowly slip down the slippery slope.

In Christ,

Thomas
