Bone scans in 1991 revealed serious bone breaks that were inconsistent with someone being bedridden for 13 months. Her "husband" wants to have her cremated immediately upon her death. Perhaps, he's trying to prevent anyone finding something mysterious in an autopsy. The new doctor Schiavo enlisted has five malpractice suits pending against him.

I wouldn't want someone like that to be my guardian.
I really cannot speak on any of those items. I do find it hard to believe that 15 trips to various courts, including the recent federal appeals court have not given credence to the points you mention.

That makes me believe they are not accurate - but what is being suggested by the family, those opposed to all of this and the press (who love a good argument).

From what you just said, it seems like we have JFK conspiracy theory all around this case.

I find that hard to swallow.

Unfortunately, most doctors have malpractice suits against them in the US - but that goes back to last nights thread - people trying to beat the system!
