By the way, those who feel the same way I do might wish to have "living wills" made out, which specify- if you are clearly terminal,NO HEROIC MEASURES should be taken.

She had no living will. No "heroic measures" have ever been taken on her behalf. None have been necessary. She lives on her own. Her husband has decided to starve her to death to get her out of the way.

if you are clearly terminal She is in no way "clearly" or in any other way "terminal." You might want to read up on the subject.

What sort of truly "terminal" patient survives an infection without antibiotics and then survives 60 hours without food or water? If there weren't some very strong will to live, Terri would have died years ago.
What would Terri have to do or have to have done to convince you that she wanted to live?
Under Florida law, a guardian is required to act in the best interest of his ward, and in cases where a guardian may have a conflict of interest the court is required to appoint a guardian ad libitem. Mr. Schiavo has on numerous occasions acted in a manner clearly contrary to the best interests of his wife. When the guardian ad libitem had the audacity to suggest that such a conflict-of-interest might exist, Felos had him dismissed and not replaced.
If Terri is indeed a vegetable, she should not object to being visited by her parents or having people attempt to communicate with her. His actions seem to be based on a fear of Terri's possible recovery; that is the only motivation I can think of. Can you offer any other explanation which would be consistent with all of his actions?
