"I think it seems much more plausible that Felos, who had already been involved in starving many other people, suggested to Michael..."

You may be correct... My goal is to negate what other people "think" or what "seems much more plausible" by making my desires clear. Life has different meaning to different people. To me, laying in a bed with people around me gauging my reaction to probing, music, baloons, etc. is not life. Maybe it is to you so you better make sure the person closest to you knows that.

For your own case, fair enough. But why do you oppose those who regard Michael's testimony as totally implausible rather than "clear and compelling"?

One of the major weaknesses of the appeals court system is that trial court judges have absolute say over which witnesses and evidence are deemed credible and which are not. Judge Greer is the only judge who has found Michael Schiavos statements regarding Terri's wishes to be credible. Do you believe it is just coincidence that Michael suddenly "remembered" Terri's wishes years after she was incapacitated and after he had earlier testified that he would care for her for the rest of a natural lifespan of 50+ years?

Also, I would suggest that you consider that much of the unpleasantness Terri experiences is a direct result of Michael's actions. Many things could have been done to ease Terri's discomfort except that Michael forbid them. That Michael has done all he can to make Terri's life miserable does not mean her life would continue to be miserable if she were freed of his control.
