Last Schiavo battle - the autopsy

Terri Schiavo's autopsy report. So, the autopsy of Terri Schiavo revealed that she was in a persistent vegetative state. Great. In other words, the report revealed nothing new. The medical examiners speculated that there was no abuse before her collapse (the body didn't show signs of any abuse, but, after 15 years, would it?) and that she would never get any better. Although we don't know any more about her collapse in 1990 than we did then, I suppose everyone can get some rest now that there is 'conclusive' evidence that she would not have gotten better. So much for erring on the side of life - we didn't have any of this 'evidence' before the courts decided to let her die.

Well, we thought the fight was over. However, there has been a 'parting shot' (pun intended), and apparently her parents are not happy aboutwhat he put on her gravemarker.
