This needs to be investigated. If true it is very powerful.

Pinellas Park, FL (LifeNews.com) — Just before representatives of her estranged husband Michael removed her feeding tube Friday afternoon, Terri Schiavo reportedly told an attorney for her parents that she wanted to live.

Barbara Weller, one of the attorneys for Terri’s parents Bob and Mary Schindler, told reporters about her visit with Terri on Friday.

“Terri, if you would just say, ‘I want to live,’ all of this will be over,” she told the disabled woman.

Weller said Terri desperately tried to repeat Weller’s words.

“‘I waaaaannt …,’ Schiavo allegedly said. Weller described it as a prolonged yell that was loud enough that police stationed nearby entered the hospice room.

“She just started yelling, ‘I waaaannt, I waaaannt,'” Weller explained.

At that point, police removed Weller from Terri’s hospice room and, later, her feeding tube was removed.

Randall Terry recounted Weller’s experience on the “Sean Hannity” nationally syndicated radio program.

Meanwhile, another Schindler attorney described the mood of Terri’s parents after the tumultuous afternoon.

“They’re devastated,” their lawyer, David Gibbs told Reuters after the tube was removed. “They would change places with her in a heartbeat, if there was any way that they could be the one that’s sick and hurting, and give their health to Terri. They’re a mom, a dad. … It’s a tough day for them.”

  1. If this story is true, it would be the first time in history that someone in a coma has actually spoken. Did nobody asked Miss Barbara Weller how could that be possible?

  2. It should also be pointed out that she wasn’t terminal either, until they started withholding food and water.
