Looks like the parents are still in denial about what is going on:

DrewKaree:
It's just pathetic to see you blithely dismiss the glaring differences in these cases.
DeLay's case (nice link too, I'll do the same ::) ) was regarding "oxygen equipment". Shindler was being starved. She had no such problem breathing, and we have no idea if she was or wasn't able to swallow in order to sustain herself because Greer disallowed it, and hearsay, while allowed in deciding if she wanted to die, wasn't allowed in deciding if she could swallow food. DeLay's comments of what's happening with Shindler are hypocritical? Try starving your dog to death in Florida, see how that goes. ::)
You ought to write political ads too, Mr Half-the-story. In Shindler's case, there was dispute by many as to what Terri's wishes were. The reason it's in dispute is that they're working off of the changed testimony of Schiavo. In the malpractice suit, he testified that he would need this money for the long-term care Terri would require. Once he won the malpractice judegement, he now conveniently "remembered" that Terri said she wouldn't want to live like this in that long ago "conversation".
In DeLay's case, you're trying to pin the blame on him because he's the figurehead here. What you fail to inform everyone else on, is this:
"There was no point to even really talking about it," Maxine DeLay, the congressman's 81-year-old widowed mother, recalled in an interview last week. "There was no way [Charles] wanted to live like that. Tom knew
DrewKaree:
I can't do it. I can't sit here and let people wonder if you truly ARE a partisan hack or if it's just namecalling, so here's MrC's story he's talking about. Read the story for yourself, see if any of you can figure out why there was a lawsuite ::)
See if any of you can see the glaring inconsistencies of MrC's charges and the depths to which he's willing to sink.

Most notably, and since I realize some won't check that link out, I'll quote it here:

I suppose it just depends on what part of the news you choose to focus on:

"The Schindlers said they would stop asking courts to intervene after the Florida Supreme Court rejected their most recent appeal Saturday. The parents were rebuffed repeatedly by federal courts after Congress passed an extraordinary law last weekend allowing the case to be heard by federal judges."
Maybe if it were your child, you'd be more apt able to speak to their "power of denial".

No one can deny that her body is still alive.
Her parents will continue to keep her alive as she continues to live.
