You are wrong on so many counts I don't even know where to begin.

First, out of all the physicians who offered testimony as to Terri's neuro status, the corrupt Judge Greer only allowed the testimony of one; handpicked by the adulterous spouse and the sole physician willing to state Terri was vegetative. Have you not been watching the news as of late? A neurologist just went on Florida television stating that what they are doing to Terri is murder! He specifically stated Terri is not in a vegetative state.

Second, hearsay is not considered enough to pull a tube. That is ridiculous. I won't say that unethical practitioners have not used it previously, but it is not considered legitimate. Furthermore, that idea contradicts your previous plea for living wills. Why bother with a living will when it's enough for someone to say, "Hey, I heard her say she wanted to die once." Great, let's pull the plug!

The burden remains to prove a person wanted death, not to prove a desire for life. That requires written, legally notarized testimony.

Third, you are making assumptions that the entire legal process has been ethical and lawful. You are giving her 'husband' the benefit of the doubt when facts prove he is immoral and likely criminally complicit in her injury and financial defrauding. Ditto for Judge Greer.

Please take the facts in this case into account before you render judgement.

Please follow this link- and read the Florida law for yourself. It clearly states feeding tubes are included, and that, in the absence of a written advance directive, the patient's verbal expression carries the same weight. I am a conservative- I don't read the law to say what I want it to say- but just what it says. And I put more weight into the law, and my personal experience with it, than with news accounts and unsubstantiated allegations. Please read the law (F.S. 765) before you jump to conclusions.
