Felos thinks if he keeps saying she's terminal, then she will be terminal. And ain't we all, more or less...

Not being a lawyer, it's hard for me to say exactly what is relevant or illegal in a civil case. I understand criminal laws a little more, because I've been around law enforcement for many years.

I understand what you're saying, but the law says this:

(2) Admission to a hospice program shall be made upon a diagnosis and prognosis of terminal illness by a physician licensed pursuant to chapter 458 or chapter 459 and shall be dependent on the expressed request and informed consent of the patient.

I forget how long Terri has been in hospice. I never heard them say she was terminal, just that she was PVS. She would have had to be determined terminally ill in order to be admitted, according to 'the rule of law'.
