Statement of Schindler Family in response to Lakeland Ledger editorial
Attorney George Felos admits to "tens of thousands" of starvation and dehydration deaths February 6, 2004 Clearwater, FL — An editorial piece published online by the Lakeland Ledger of Lakeland, Florida, entitled Lawmakers Intrude Into Family Privacy included a recent quote by attorney George Felos of Dunedin, Florida, that the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation believes is cause for alarm. In the opinion piece that reports on Florida Legislative action to protect incapacitated people from starvation and dehydration, George Felos is quoted as saying: "Because of the notoriety of the Schiavo case, which is one isolated case out of tens of thousands over the years, I think the Legislature is politically motivated to look like they are doing something" (emphasis added). Mr. Felos is the attorney representing Michael Schiavo, the Pinellas County man who has petitioned the circuit courts to remove the feeding tube that delivers sustenance to his disabled wife, Terri Schindler-Schiavo. Mr. Felos is also the author of Litigation as Spiritual Practice, a book in which he claims he "soul speaks" to incapacitated patients. Statement of Bobby Schindler, Terri’s brother: "People should be very frightened of how matter-of-factly Mr. Felos’s assertion is. He openly admits that we are once again killing those deemed less worthy."
