A US court has rejected an appeal by the parents of a brain-damaged Florida woman who had asked for her feeding tube to be reinserted. Terri Schiavo's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, had asked the appeals court to overturn a lower court's rejection of their bid to have the feeding tube reinserted.
Mrs Schiavo's feeding tube was disconnected last Friday and doctors say the 41-year-old is likely to die in 7-14 days without it.
The Schindler's attorney, David Gibbs, had told the court she is "fading quickly" and death is imminent.
But a lawyer for her husband, Michael Schiavo argues that reinserting the feeding tube would infringe on his wife's rights.
Under Florida law, as her husband, Mr Schiavo is her legal guardian, and maintains she had said she would prefer to die rather than be kept in a persistent vegetative state.
The appeals court ruled against the parents, saying "We agree (with the lower court) that the plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate a substantial case on the merits of any of their claims.
"We also conclude that the district court's carefully thought out decision to deny temporary relief in these circumstances is not an abuse of discretion."
Asked about the parents' view that Mrs Schiavo was "fading quickly," Mr Schiavo's lawyer, George Felos said: "I do not believe it is true. Terri is stable, peaceful and calm."
What u think??? Kindly express your views abt this matter. Team Spicy flavours

Tell me one thing guys, if ur wife or husband got into car accident...what would u do? Tell the doctor to let her or him die as its too expensive for me too keep my husband or wife alive or her life is worthless. This is total bullshit !!! It so sad :(that the parents want the wife to be alive, but since the husband has the total right, he thinks he can make any decision for her. Terri Schiavo didn't even write anything on the paper or any document. This is ridiculous...the parents want their daughter to be alive, btu the court denied. All religion are against the divorce, with the exception of Islam. However, the point with Micheal shiavo is not that its against the religion, but its about the money. Since, the insurance is paying so much for Terri Schiavo, so if the feeding tube is taken out, Micheal schiavo gets lot of money. In addition, Micheal schiavo also has a girl friend. Also if the parents are willing to save thier daughter and take care for her, then why can't the supreme court let her live...GEEZ!!! Next, if the court thinks that this is right, then what about handicaped ppl, who don't have the similar situation as Terri schiavo....so shud we let all of them die? It not in our hands..its in the hands of god. How can this thing happen? If this happens then there should be amendments, the husband or the wife shud not be the only person, who makes the decision for her spouse. Thus, god gave life to her and he has the only right to take the life away. If god wanted her to die in the first place, then why didn't he take the life from her. Thus, It very sad, i can't even imagine this. This is so unright. WHo are these ppl to make decision for her? This is her life!!! I Really hope the very very best for Terri Schiavo. I hope the parents can get their daughter's life.

stupid forum..
i wrote a two page message and there was some error and it wiped out all ... damn i was not having the copy of the message..
any way..!
the Judges are insane,
the Husband is sex psycho freak... dumb ass moron
the politicians are *ucking a**holes
the sufferers are the patient and her parents.
Cut the crap let her live.. lets not make a profit out of someone's emotion.
and if that prick is that much intrested in killing her wife then just give her divorce, let her be with her parent .. and he should go to his mistress lap.

Another thing...Mrs terri schiavo would have been alright today. She would have been living peaceful adn happy life jus like everyone else.
However, its the doctors mistake. Long back when Terri was in the hospital, then the doctor did some mistake, which led her to the current position.
Its a shame on doctor. The doctor shud fight for her, for doing this to her.
In addition, it has been a week since her feeding tube has been taken out. Terri Schiavo has stopped smiling and she looks very weak.
God Bless Terri Schiavo
