Thanks for that link to the court documents. That clarified for me more than anything else that Terri should be allowed to die in peace. Never knew there was a battle for the original settlement. that court document seemed to be pretty thorough.
That's what's at issue. In the trial a claim regarding what the CAT scan showed was asserted but no challenge was made to it.
Since that initial trial, or should we call it a hearing, other technologies have been developed that are superior to what could be shown in that initial CAT scan, and other physicians have arrived at other conclusions.
Judge Greer has refused to allow such evidence into his court. It's almost as if he has no sensibility concerning the enormity of his decision.
The appeals courts have backed up the judge's handling of the case. Appeals courts don't deal in "facts", just process!
If this same sort of anti-scientific advance attitude had been allowed to prevail in Illinois there are a couple of dozen innocent men who would have been executed simply because the state Attorney General refused to allow a DNA test.
Almost seems unfair, but, of course, nobody here's a Democrat or a Liberal, so that's not really an issue.
What link to court docs,,I would like to go there and don't think I posted a link.
