This is nothing more than another step in what has become a macabre dance of smoke and mirrors.

Any legislative remeby would be shot down by a judge as "unconstitutional" before the ink was dry.

Even executive action would not suffice at this late date. True, executive action could not be challenged by courts, but even that would not address the the fatal aspect of the problem.

Schiavo is still the guardian.

Even if feeding was resumed now, it would not be enough to save Terri. She would also need medical treatment for any damage done to her body, having been denied nourishment and hydration for five days. This could involve dialysis among other things.

As guardian, Schiavo has the authority to decline this or any medical treatment, especially since Terri is now in a hospice.

There can be no doubt, even among the most optimistic, that he would deny her any such treatment.

This is my fear. IF her feeds were resumed, what damage has been done from starvation for 5 days? And, given that damage, would her husband allow medical treatment to correct/support the damage.

With this bill, if there is actually a bill, would Michael still remain the guardian, or, does the bill also entail investigation into Michael, removing him as the guardian until the investigation is over?

From what I have read and been told by Senate, Governor offices etc, there is no hope that anything is going to reverse this at this point.

I pray that if, for some reason, it is reversed and her feeding tube is reinserted, they also make arrangements for proper support care to be given regarding the damage done to her body from the removal of feedings/hydration for the past 5 days.

May God be with Terri and her family at this time.
