I'm wondering if political pressure could be brought to bear on Jeb Bush and the legislature to make another emergency law that prohibits causing intentional death by starvation and dehydration where the will of the patient to be "put down" in that painful fashion is not written in her own hand and notarized - asserting rather that a more humane method must be used as it is with condemned criminals and unwanted animals, i.e. lethal injection.

If Michael fought the change, it would be a huge news story and would slow down the process. If he did not fight it then Terri would be spared a great deal of suffering.

Basically she shouldn't be murdered in any way, shape or form. How can you let people get away with cold-blooded murder?

We phone Governor Bush regularly. We advise him what his authority is as Governor such as being the head of Adult Protective Services, such as being the head of the Florida Republican Party (which may never deliver Fla again to the GOP), we ask him to place Terri into protective custody. We keep asking but he's not said he's abandoned Terri but he's not actively doing anything at this point.

I've been thinking along those lines too, but maybe what we need is a law outlawing death by starvation and dehydation. Evidently, this is not allowed in many states, and considerd a very inhumane death. It was posted here that it only became a law in Florida in 1999.

Someone said Felos lobbied for the law to be passed.

This may boomerang on the right-to-kill folks yet.
