Terri's Watch : Michael Schiavo to Discuss Terri at Conference

Terri's husband Michael will soon address a euthanasia conference in Minnesota.

Following his receipt of the guardian of the year award from the Florida State Guardianship Association, Michael has been invited to address a euthanasia conference at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minnesota. The conference is titled, "33 Years of Clinical Ethics in Minnesota: Ron Cranford’s Stories of Heroes and Courage."

Cranford is infamous for his position in favor of assisted suicide and made headlines when he testified in court that Terri was in a persistent vegetative state, despite the view of doctors and neurologists who said otherwise.

Cranford is a member of the board of directors of the Euthanasia Society of America and has ties to the organization formerly known as the Hemlock Society, another pro-euthanasia group.

According to the Empire Journal, a brochure for the upcoming “ethics” conference says the presentations focused “on the development of clinical ethics in Minnesota through the words of some of ethic's greatest heroes. ” The case of Terri Schiavo is presented as one of the landmark euthanasia cases in the last 30 years.

Michael has recently announced he is considering filing a medical malpractice lawsuit against doctors who treated Terri for a bleeding esophagus in late 2003, despite his efforts to have a local judge stop the treatment so Terri would die.Michael is also working with a journalist on a possible book.
