Yes, you're right, Greer didn't order that she must die. But, as MS pointed out on LKL, he (MS) didn't ask that Terri be put to death - the whole argument was over "what Terri wanted" (as told by MS)
So Greer's ruling 'found' that a) she was PVS and b) she would not want to live in such a condition.
I suppose even if the Schindlers were to get custody, Greer's ruling would stand and Felos would try to force them to "honor Terri's wish." (sickening though it is)
I will have to look at the transcript of the radio broadcast (if someone posts it) to see where Felos hinted at that.

Can a mistrial be declared in civil matters? It seems this whole sorry affair has been a circus run by evil clowns. It looks like there would be grounds to start all over. I realize that in one respect, that is what Gov. Bush is trying to do by fighting to uphold Terri's Law and seeking to have the case heard in Tallahassee, but it still isn't the same as overturning the previous ruling.
