I just found this statement by Felos in an article. Doesn't it seem like Felos is just making this into a bigger and bigger can of worms? How could Michael possibly remember Terri's exact words so long after she said them, when he couldn't remember them when they were putting the feeding tube in? I'm sorry, I just don't buy this. If it were true then I guess Michael would just have to let Terri die if she ever got a broken ankle. I needed lots of help for two months when I broke mine last year. I couldn't take care of myself, and I depended on several people to care for me. If Felos actually uttered these words in a courtroom, it should have to have been thrown out just on the basis of being a ridiculous statement. He was overindulging himself. My opinion.

"Terri Schiavo didn't say, 'If I'm in a vegetative condition, I don't want to be kept alive artificially,'" Felos claimed. "She said, 'If I'm in a condition where I can't care for myself, I'm dependent on the care of others, I don't want to be kept alive artificially.'"

Well the GAL didn't buy them either, and said so. Felos claimed bias and out the GAL went.
