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.

Well, this case sure points out that with the current crop of judges [?] there needs to be a Grand Canyon wide margin of error in the law. The law needs to require ironclad proof of full INFORMED consent (no foggy grannies being given to sign the last page of a document they can't even understand). Maybe they can grandfather in the current cases, if they are so worried about someone sans living will losing their "rights." But no new Terris. No killing fields in Florida.
