Even if it technically did, that such a thing is permitted to enable suicide by proxy (Terri can't say no to food and drink, so her luvin' [?] hubby does it for her) is creepy beyond measure.

Whether or not Terri wins this one, Florida needs to tighten up its constitution and laws so there will not be more Terris. Anything short of ironclad proof (and this sure ain't) is simply unthinkable as a "justification" to withhold alimentation on behalf of one who can't refuse it himself or herself.

It seems to me that the laws are very clear, and they're clearly being violated. I'm baffled! I would like to see the elimination of a spoken directive as opposed to a written directive, but I don't think it's necessary in Terri's case. The burden of proof was never met, as currently defined by law. I think the one thing that's needed more than anything else is a way to make the judges abide by the laws already on the books.
