So sorry, kingattaz - I was on another site and I just copied and pasted it before I read your thread. Thanks SO much for responding.
no problem....i hope that helps :)
It doesn't matter even if she DID say "no tubes for me". I'm not from the US, but doesn't the law there still state that euthanasia and suicide is still illegal?? If Dr Kervokian (sp?) was put in jail for helping people die who ASKED to die, why could Michael not be charged with the same crime? Anyone know the law here, is euthanasia legal or not??
Excellent post & point!
None of you guys got it right. It was because, during those 7 seven years after her "accident" there WAS NO LAW STATING THAT FOOD AND WATER is considered medical treatment. AFTER Mikie and George Felos got food and water to be considered life support did he start saying that this was Terri's wishes and petitioning the court (Greer) to have the feeding tube removed and to "let her die". I'd REALLY like to know how they got that law amended to included feeding tubes for PVS patients. Anyone out there know the history of this law???. THAT'S why Michael didn't say anything about Terri's "wishes" for seven long years!
See my post #20 - I found the information.
Where were all these "witnesses" when all this began. They werte non existant because they weren't there. God, this is getting more like DU every day.
When you've tried for years with NO success, it's time to let her go.
You're missing the point. If he is right and she said "no tubes for me" then he's been working against his wife's wishes for all these years and that's pathetic....especially now that he's claiming moral superiority in "keeping his promise to carry out her wishes"...
