Yes they both did. They both passed and signed into law the statute that lets a person's feeding tube be removed. This was in 1999.
Fellow Freeper starsandstripes sent me a timeline email that contained the following:
Statute 765 revisions of 1999. Someone commented that Statute 765 seemed to have been intentionally revised in 1999 for Terri's case. Terri is being held at Woodside Hospice, part of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast. Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos was once on the Board of directors of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast and was also once chairman of the hospice.
Although George Felos lied and misled the public that he had left the hospice at the time he took Michael's case, it turns out, from examining public records that he did not leave until 2001. In 1998, Felos filed a motion in Judge Greer's court to remove Terri's feeding tube.
In 1999, statue 765 was revised to redefine what a terminally ill patient was, and changed the law to withdraw nutrition hydration from a patient in a persistent vegetative state who had no advanced directives.
This is the real "Terri's Law." And no one is talking about it. I am certain it will not be repealed; instead it will be modified to allow a more merciful form of death.
Yes.
The ultimate goal of the ACLU, George Felos and Gerald Kogan, former chief justice of the Florida State Supreme Court is
Physician assisted death.Even though he says Terri is not suffering, Felos knows that people suspect that Terri is suffering. Felos knows that people will clamor for a way to exit life more quickly and less painfully.
Felos is "Terri-fying" people.
