In February, 2000, Judge Greer signed a court order to remove the feeding tube. Since she was only expected to live for two weeks, she was admitted to a hospice in early March. Now, what's your problem?

Oh, yes - of COURSE she was "expected" to only live 2 weeks - that IS the window for one starved/hydrated to death.

But she was not terminal if she continued to be be given food and water - she was, except for brain damage (NOT PVS!) healthy and had a life expectancy of another 40+ years - which is EXACTLY why michael was able to get such a large settlement in "order to pay for her prolonged therapy."

got a clue yet?

"But she was not terminal if she continued to be be given food and water"

Back in 2000, there was no court order prohibiting food and water by mouth. But they didn't do it. Why not?

I'm going to take a WAG and say SHE COULDN'T SWALLOW, THAT'S WHY.
