   baseline the autopsy is not being done at Michael's request or the Schindler's,it is state mandated. So why would there have to be any outside witnesses.

   I just heard two fairly intellegent young people (13 and 15) discussing "The terri thing" and they were asking why Michael is being crucified for doing what she had been doing to herself before her collapse? A very interesting take on the situation I...
