Byrd's office (according to a phone call reported by another FReeper) denies that he was ever involved in writing such a bill. At this point, I suppose the details hardly matter as far as Terri's imminent death by dehydration is concerned.

What? The bill never existed?

I don't think we really know yet. There's been a lot of conflicting information. Another FReeper called Byrd's office earlier and was told by his assistant the Speaker had not written, nor would be introducing anything about Terri. She did say that he would support such a bill if it was introduced. On the other hand, I just read an Associated Press report on another thread that has quotes from Senator Byrd about how the legislators were discussing the issue in this special session. Several FReepers were tuned into the legislative session today via radio and TV and the fact is nothing about Terri was discussed. All the news about Terri is very confusing today.
