The San Diego Union Tribune reports:
The husband of brain-damaged Terri Schiavo yesterday rejected a $1 million offer from a Rancho Santa Fe businessman to drop efforts to remove her feeding tube.
Other such offers – one for $10 million – already have been made and rejected during Michael Schiavo's legal battle for permission to stop his wife's artificial feedings so she can die, said his attorney, George Felos.
The woman's parents are trying to keep their 41-year-old daughter alive, but Michael Schiavo says he once promised his wife before she suffered a heart attack and severe brain damage 15 years ago that he would not keep her alive by artificial means. . . . She has lived in what court-appointed doctors call a persistent vegetative state since then.
