They want to block the Gov and his legal team from performing any test and evaluations on Terri. They also don't want her family trying to feed her.

# Dr. Cranford’s published definition of the Persistent Vegetative State differs substantially from Florida law. Court transcripts show that Judge George Greer used Dr. Cranford’s definition in assessing Terri, rather than Florida’s stricter definition.

Felonious is covering all the bases. It's like he's had a spell over Judge Greer. The petition also says that no one shall cause any tests to be administered to her.

We have a KANGAROO COURT in action here in FL and it's gotten past the ridiculous point.

There are several issues which have been reported 'not' to be decided until the constitutional issue is settled. The issue of Michael's disqualification should have precedence over any of the other mess because he has been violation of guardian statutes many moons before we got to where we are now.

Conclusion 1 - 3 There is no definitive neurological test for PVS.
Conclusion 1 - 4 There is no neurological test which will determine PVS patient consciousness.
Conclusion 1 - 5 In relation to the problem of PVS patient consciousness, medical practice has assumed that Consciousness IN = Consciousness B. Furthermore it has used the ‘reflex test’ as the criterion for establishing Consciousness B.
In recovery, if Terri improves, PVS is invalidated
Karen Quinlan’s case was the first case involving PVS to come before the US courts. Her breathing had been sustained by a respirator and the court application was for permission to remove the respirator. This the court permitted. However, on the removal of the respirator, Karen Quinlan did not die but continued to breath, unaided. She survived for a further 10 years in a PVS. She died in 1985 of acute pneumonia. Antibiotics had not been given to treat the pneumonia.
