Last Chance for Terri

Terri Schiavo will be starved to death starting tomorrow if the last-ditch effort to save her isn't successful:

...Should a divorce be granted, Terri's husband, Michael, would lose his standing as her guardian, and his demand that his wife be deprived of food and water would no longer have any legal force.

The source said that in view of the fact that Terri's husband is living with another woman, has already sired one child by her and is expecting another child, the lawsuit could charge him with adultery and cite that as justification for a divorce decree.

Terri's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, filed a federal lawsuit Aug. 30 against Schiavo; his attorney, right-to-die advocate George Felos; and two of the nursing facilities where Mrs. Schiavo had been previously kept. The lawsuit alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Terri's civil rights under the First, Fifth and 14th Amendments.

Terri is not a vegetable. If she's such an "inconvenience" to her husband, why doesn't he just divorce her so that her family can take care of her? Why is he so determined to see her dead?

Update: You know, I was wondering about where Governor Jeb Bush is on this. I know he filed an Amicus Brief, but I was wondering if he could do something to put a stop to this. William Luse has a post about the Terri Schiavo situation and links to two articles that completely contradict each other as to whether Gov. Bush can do anything to stop Terri from being murdered.

Update 2: Amy Welborn has more on this sad situation.
