New testing and therapeutic methods asked for by family, doctors agree



Clearwater, FL – Attorneys for Bob and Mary Schindler have filed 17 affidavits in support of their motion asking Judge Greer to allow medical evaluations be performed on Terri in light of recent advances in medical technologies.
