This is the letter I sent the Senate Pres (who is supposedly against this bill, why, dear L-rd, I would not know...)

Dear President of the FL State Senate,

If you found life precious even if you lost much of your brain's ability, and you nevertheless enjoyed breathing, eating, seeing, hearing music, and being with those who obviously love you, wouldn't it be cruel if someone stopped helping you eat or drink?

Should my grandmother with Alzheimers be starved? Should President Reagan?

This is not the Third Reich.

By the way we care for those who need our care most, we will be known.

Pass the law and connect Terri Schiavo's feeding tube by noon tomorrow. You will be richly rewarded, both in your political career here on earth, and elsewhere, I am sure.

Thank you for your serious consideration.

Yours truly,

HOPE IT HELPS.

>>This is not the Third Reich.

Someone should tell that to judge Greer.

*Good points,Yaelle, about naming names!
What about taking food/waater from Christopher Reeve, Ronald Reagan, any other known handicapped names?
People relate more to familiarity. Makes the idea "more real", i.e. taking food/water away.

Because he is on the Florida Hospice Board of Directors. It's on his website under "Affiliations."
