Another small victory

Michael Schiavo's attorney has announced that his client will permit an autopsy after he achieves her death.

I'm not sure how much good that will do, since only a functional MRI, which can only be done if Terri is alive, can tell us what's happening in her brain. Not to mention the dehydration process will have caused additional brain damage. But this is the second bone he's thrown Terri's parents in as many days.

The most we can hope for at this point is that he might allow her parents to give her a decent burial, since she's been so compromised by dehydration that there's no way she can survive even if he restores food and water and allows IV rehydration. But that would be the one comfort they could get out of this, now that he's gotten what he wants.
