Schiavo said his wife told him several times she would not want to be kept on life support. His brother, Scott, and the wife of another brother also said Mrs. Schiavo told them the same thing.
The Schindlers say they don't believe that and wonder why Schiavo never mentioned it until 1998, after his wife had spent eight years in a coma.
The parents testified their daughter never talked to them about life support. But, they and Meyer said, Mrs. Schiavo supported placing her grandmother on a ventilator and opposed Karen Ann Quinlan's parents, who gained national attention in the 1970s when fighting to remove their daughter from life support.
