Too Clever by Half

Michael Schiavo tripped himself up when he forbade an autopsy and demanded that Terri be cremated. Apparently his ghoulish lawyer, George Felos, who was pushing for her death, failed to inform him that a demand for cremation is one of about a dozen things that triggers Florida law to make an autopsy mandatory. Michael tried to look benevolent by saying he would "allow" an autopsy, but he had no choice. By the way, did you know that George Felos is a right-to-die activist who claims he can ascertain a person’s desire to die by "looking into their eyes" and letting their spirits speak directly to him? A volunteer at Woodside Hospice, Felos became chairman of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast, which runs Woodside, and only came off the board about a year after Michael Schiavo placed his estranged wife there. Talk about a conflict of interest! Not to mention that he wears turtlenecks. For that alone, he's going to Hell. Terri's body is now hopefully being probed and tested for everything possible. If her bones were broken through abuse, we'll know about it. If her brain was truly liquefied, we'll know about it. It's too bad he wouldn't allow such a thorough examination while she was still alive. But his brutality has not ended. He will deny her a Catholic funeral. He will not allow her family to have any spiritual contact. He will burn her and bury her ashes in an UNDISCLOSED place in PA so her family can never visit her grave. You might say that this person (I can't bring myself to call him a man) has no soul, but I pray that he does, just so it will burn in hell forever.
