From what I've read it has already happened to sick old people.
After Weldon spoke on WABC radio yesterday, a woman called up and said parents starved and dehydrated their daughter in Orange County, New York State, and it took two weeks.
Speaking of Weldon, let me give the info for newbees and lurkers:
URGENTLY ask your U.S. Senators and Representative to support the “Federal Terri’s Law”, the Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act, to give the Schindler family access to a federal court to argue for the life of their daughter, Terri Schindler Schiavo.
Representative Dave Weldon, M.D. (R-Fl-15) announced March 3 that he intends to introduce this bill on March 8.
Time is precious! Do not wait for the actual introduction of the bill to urge your Senators and Representatives to save Terri! Only a massive outpouring from their constituents will move Members of Congress to act quickly enough on this vital bill to give Terri her chance at life.

WHY Should the Schindlers even have to go to the Federal COURTS. IF the Chief Executive of Florida spares this girl she's spared. Then the Schindlers had better get out of Florida. If I had retired in Florida, I'd be moving tomorrow.
