No, it's legal murder. The problem is, the Florida legislature pass the law that is allowing this. I'm sure that at the time, they didn't understand what they were doing. That is frequently the case for lawmakers who tend to sign onto bills without reading or understanding what they mean.

Everybody please note: this legal argument hinges on distinguishing between "artificial" provision of sustenance and hydration (a feeding tube or intravenous, which are artificial medical means) and providing sustenance and hydration orally, which is natural and not a medical procedure for artificially extending life.

Since Florida law is clear in its definition of what does and does not constitute assisted suicide, and the law only exempts artificial means of giving sustenance and hydration, the failure to provide Terri Schiavo natural means of sustenance and hydration constitutes assisted suicide, is illegal, and may be stopped by any sworn law-enforcement or judicial officer of the State of Florida without first seeking to overturn Judge Greer's order.

Jeb Bush should get control of this situation happening in his State. He should replace the Sherrif's office people with State Police and he should Go down there himself and get Ms. Schiavo out before its too late, or this will haunt him for the rest of his life. He is the executive in the State and he is letting a Judge control everything thats happening. It's the sign of a weak Executive, ( and thats coming from someone who respects Jeb Bush). Get your people down there and then don't allow anyone to kill this woman. This is heinous. Look to principal.
