"The court" you speak of so highly consists of a judge, George Greer, with extreme conflicts-of-interest. There was no jury, no panel, no compromise.

The appeals court disagrees:

Despite our decision that the appropriate standard of review is abuse of discretion, this court has closely examined all of the evidence in this record. We have repeatedly examined the videotapes, not merely watching short segments but carefully observing the tapes in their entirety. We have examined the brain scans with the eyes of educated laypersons and considered the explanations provided by the doctors in the transcripts.

What appeals court are you quoting from? Links please.

I am enjoying your carefully chosen snippets of the OPINION you posted.

This is the best statement I've seen in there yet:

"The guardianship court concluded that there was no evidence of a treatment in existence that offered such promise of increased cognitive function in Mrs. Schiavo's cerebral cortex that she herself would elect to undergo it at this time."

So I guess all those nice grants on cognitive disabilities and developments should be withheld from Florida. The guardianship court has declared there is no medical treatment or therapies on cognitive functions.

Can't have it both ways.

Any of these judges have bioscience backgrounds?

HIS doctors.

Not the family's doctors.
