Judge Greer counted.

"By the court's count, (Hammesfahr) gave 105 commands to Terri Schiavo and, at his direction, Mrs. Schindler gave an additional six commands," Greer wrote. "He asked her 61 questions and Mrs. Schindler ... asked her an additional 11 questions. The court saw few actions that could be considered responsive to either those commands or those questions."

Comments:

Florida Law says PVS is NO cognitve behaviour of ANY kind. Even the Judge acknowledges that she had a few actions that were!

FS765.101 Definitions; (11) "Living will" or "declaration" means: (a) A witnessed document in writing, voluntarily executed by the principal in accordance with s. 765.302; or (b) A witnessed oral statement made by the principal expressing the principal's instructions concerning life-prolonging procedures.

(12) "Persistent vegetative state" means a permanent and irreversible condition of unconsciousness in which there is: (a) The absence of voluntary action or cognitive behavior of any kind. (b) An inability to communicate or interact purposefully with the environment.

That's a) and b). Not or. She is not unconscious and showed a few voluntary or cognitive behaviours according to Judge Greer. That's not the same as NONE of ANY KIND>per the statute. In order to KILL her. Oh yeah, to *allow* her to die.

Key: ,. = etc.

The Terri Schindler Life Ribbon Campaign acts as a beacon pointing to Terri's plight. It also acts as lighthouse and gateway to others who already Realize and stand as Witness to Terri's inherent right to life and rehabilitation,. It is apparent that Michael Schiavo, George Felos, Deborah Bushnell and Co. must be bound by laws in order to be forced out of Terri's life. Let us continue to spread the word and take actions,. for Terri.

Terri should be no worse today, at least, than she was in 6/90 to 3/91, when these reports were made:

These are EXCERPTS -- please see PDF for original from friends of Terri website. Thanks to FL engineer, who found this!

*easily startled to her name or when bedrail fell down

*significant amount of tone in the head and neck.
