There's nothing wrong with Florida's laws.... when the legislative
and executive branches aren't changing it to suit the needs of the day.
Change? There may very well be change... the coming election.
No-one likes justice to be interfered with at whim and after-the-fact.
If Terri's condition is deemed to be totally irreversible by well
renowned physicians; if the original decision to remove life support
is found to have been a valid choice.... Politicians that are using
this family tragedy for self gain will suffer, along with the political
party representing them.

Maybe he's been working on it. Look what I just found:
I haven't read the entire thing. It looks like they are trying to delete the LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR portion of the Background Screening that is REQUIRED at THIS TIME of all guardians. LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS BEHAVIOR is defined as openly cohabiting with someone who is not one's spouse.

Which is a stalking horse for euthanasia by more overt killing acts (e.g. overdose of opiates). Since FL is the senior citizen capital of America, this is the logical place for them to do it.
