Something has to be changed so that the law reflects that nourishment is not artificial life support!!! Can a law be created to undo this sham?

I sure hope so. I do think that the state legislature is planning to bring this very topic up in the spring when they reconvene. They realize now that the way they wrote the law before allowed atrocities like Terri's case to go forward, and I do believe it's not what they intended. And who but Felos knew that MS was waiting in the wings to have the new legislation be retroactively be applied to Terri, and many other helpless citizens of Florida? Certainly not most of the legislators.

It's kind of like the 9/11 tragedies. Who of us would have ever dreamt that humans could hate other humans so intensely to do that? Before 9/11, the idea was completely preposterous, but after 9/11 we are less naive. Same goes with this legislation. Nobody ever expected the law would be used in this way. Everyone thought that there were precautions that would have stopped anyone from going this far. The guardianship laws for one example. Now, of course, we see that there is great evil all around us waiting to take advantage of our being so congenial. They use the letter of the law to warp the spirit of the law.
