Does this passage in the bill mean her parents can have her removed from the hospice to get the medial care needed to resume feeding?

A person may not be held civilly liable and is not subject to regulatory or disciplinary sanctions for taking any action to comply with a stay issued by the Governor pursuant to this act.

IMHO I don't think it addresses the issue. The bill only calls for feeding, not medical care. The bill doesn't address guardianship. Schiavo still has the power to decline medical treatment.

Be prepared for him to try anything to make sure Terri dies.

Just read where Schiavo, writing from his hideout, says he too finds it difficult to accept the court ruling ordering the g-tube removed. Truly bizarre.

On second thought, if it was not possible to resume feeding because of a medical condition. I think the state could mandate that it be provided to enforce the order to reseme feeding.

At least that's the route I would take if I were the state. I would take that position right out of the gate, claiming she needed to be stabalized before the rightful order can be implemented. Then any attempt to stop treatment by Schiavo would violate the order and he gets put in d-block.

I would love to see that.
