The fact that he dated another woman (encouraged to do so by his wife's parents, by the way) when his wife was in a PVS does not constitute an inability to tell the truth. Not to me, it doesn't. And I don't know why it would to you.

I don't believe in bigamy.Maybe you think Terri did not deserve any better than a cheating husband. A person who lives with another woman while married to his wife is a low life. Somehow or other I do not think that would have been Terri's wish either. He lost all credibility once he started living with Jodi. In order to be believed one has to have credibility.

My premise, however, is based on the judge's order. He was there. He saw and heard the actual testimony from all those concerned. He heard the cross examination. He came away with "clear and convincing" evidence as to Terri's wishes.

Well now I get it - if Judge Greer says it is so well then it is so. I forgot Judge Greer walks on water for people like you.

The 'clear and convincing evidence' is such a crack-up. Greer is/was high up in the euthanasia movement. How much would it take to convince a euthanasia advocate that Terri needed to die? Greer is as scary a judge as has ever lived.

"I don't believe in bigamy."

Are you saying Michael was a bigamist? Why would you make such a statement?

"A person who lives with another woman while married to his wife is a low life."

In general, sure. There are extenuating circumstances here. I don't see how it takes away from his credibility.

"if Judge Greer says it is so well then it is so."

That's how the citizens of Florida, through their elected representatives, decided they wanted it done. If you want to change that and make the patient's life and death decision via an Internet poll, move to Florida, start a petition, and pass a referendum.
