Wrong. Mr. Schiavo is not a durable power of attorney over his wife's medical care. Therefore, he has no authority to withhold basic humane care such as food, water, shelter, cleanliness, treatment of infections. He is simply a guardian and guardians do NOT have that right. Under the Florida Statutes, he has no rights, only responsibilities to his ward.
You must be a judge because you certainly don't know the law.

Under the Florida Statutes, he has no rights, only responsibilities to his ward. So, it is your position that the judge in this case just hates Terri and wants to kill her, in spite of what the law says?
BTW, under our system of law, responsibilities alway confer rights and vice versa. To have responsibilities without rights is slavery.
