What's the money from? Savings? Life-insurance policy? I hadn't heard the issue of the inheritance brought into things.
I do think it is interesting how much attention this story is getting. It just goest to show you the power of the media. I mean, she has been in this state for 15 years, and the sudden attention causes many people to think all of this just happened. If they reinsert her feeding tube, are all the vigil keepers going to stay until she wakes up or dies of natural causes? Are we going to get continued news updates every few weeks? Somehow I doubt it. If she dies, I imagine we will get reports of the ensuing trial (I have to agree with dissonantfeet on the fact that if she dies there will be some kind of trial. Someone will sue someone over this) for a few weeks, but I think interest will eventually fade. This post may be showing my cynical side, but the power of the media intrigues. While I think Teri Schiavo is in a terrible situation, I just find it interesting that all of this attention is being directed towards one person, when almost no one else but the family should have any say in the matter. I wish the media would direct some of their attention to the research scientists somewhere who are working on a solution to this medical quandary. Then, maybe they would get more support and this situation wouldn't have to happen again.
Anyways, sorry about the rant. Like I said, the media phenomenon intrigues me. We can return to the comments about Teri Schiavo now.
