NBC Dateline interview with Michael Schiavo

[setter]

I do not mean to start a duplicate or entice a let’s beat up the Schiavo’s type of thread, but does anyone else find from this Dateline NBC 3/26/06 interview excerpt that 1) her having (name removed by moderator)ut, and 2) the statement from Jodi Schiavo, anything but incredulous and bizarre?

‘It’s my turn to talk,’ says Michael Schiavo
His effort to end life support for his brain-damaged wife divided a nation. Now, Michael Schiavo and his new wife open up to Matt Lauer

On his marriage to Jodi
Lauer: People have often asked. Michael why didn’t you divorce Terri, you were living with Jodi.

Michael Schiavo: Why do I have to divorce Terri? Terri wasn’t like a football— an inanimate object you pass back and forth. She was my wife. You mean because your wife gets sick, do you give her back?

Jodi Schiavo: I would think so much less of Michael had he walked away from her. That is one of the qualities in him that I so admire. That up against everything…he stuck by her…

On if the promise he is convinced he is honoring was as important to Terri
Schiavo: She’s up there praising me right now… and saying thank you.

Could there be a more exact example of conceit?

Della:

Could there be a more exact example of conceit?

Sick :nope: I can’t even believe his attitude.

****On his decision to remove Terri’s feeding tube in the face of pressure from the Vatican and the American public
Schiavo: ****Yeah, well I guess when it all boiled down, I couldn’t understand why these people were so passionate about my life… People are allowed to die every day. Feeding tubes are removed every day.

Moral relativism. This says it all.

Indredulous and bizarre and also very frustrating :banghead:

Reading that made me physically sick to my stomach. I would like to ask Jodi what was so admirable about Michael Schiavo shacking up with her & starting a new family as Terri lay in the nursing home for how many years? Was it admirable that he wouldn’t get a divorce, move on with his life and let her family take loving care of her? Is it admirable that he made sure she died a horrific death and put her family through Hell? Unbelievable.

yes, monsters do exist among us.
