Are you that malicious and hideously stupid to not understand the precedent this case is setting. Hearsay is going to be sufficient to change the bias for treatment of an incapacitated person from life to death.
The fact that you think this is somehow acceptable is sickening.

But I thought she wasn't incapacitated? I thought, from Delay and others, that she was capable of speech?
I can think of an even scarier scenario. What about all those in state run institutions that were born with major defects, or obtained them without ever stating their wishes? Most of the are probably on Medicaid. Why couldn't they ALL be condemned to a slow starvation death by legislation? This would solve Medicaid problems. Then we can go to Medicare and SS.
It is remarkable that people who rail against National Health expenditures are gleefully willing to cast those principles aside and open the door to bankrupting medical expenditures upon those who have no chance to recover and whose existence would be absolute torture to any with consciousness. This case should have been ended as soon as the doctors stated she had no chance which was a dozen years ago. In the interim millions have been spent with no result except extending the misery of the victim.
Her husband unwisely resisted that diagnosis for several years and refused to pull the plug until it became undeniably clear that there was no chance of even minimal recovery. Since then he has been incessantly attacked with the most outrageous lies.
Having had to allow my beloved wife to go to the Lord I understand that his actions are not those which are caricatured by the haters here but rather those of one who held out against all hope in trying to attain his wife's recovery. My wife would have never wanted to be trapped in such misery as Terri and I would never have subjected her to it.
