I just saw that, unbelievable. This woman saw and heard everything around her, was literally screaming to everyone trying to let them know but she couldn't move. Her husband couldn't even convince doctors that she was at all responsive to him (blinking to communicate). Most effective statement - when talking about the 8 days with the feeding tube removed, she said that Michael's lawyer was crazy saying it was painless. She said she felt everything and it was excruciating torture.

What I want to know is, how come the drs could override the husband's wishes in her case and remove the feeding tube? I believe I'll be buying her book.

And this news about Greer and the hearing - whoa. Can't hardly believe it.

I wondered about that too. And what state was that in?
