And you only want to look at this situation through the lens of Terri's situation. It's bigger than that. I'm willing to consider how this might affect the entire country. You won't.

Suppose I have an invalid ward I want to get rid of. Please explain the problem with the following plan:

1. Forbid any efforts by the ward's relatives or anyone who likes the ward to make any photos, videos, movies, or audio recordings.
2. Move with the ward to Pinellas County, Florida.
3. Have a few well-chosen "doctors" examine the ward, possibly after injecting a nice quantity of morphine first.
4. Hire a lawyer who can make sure a a "suitable" judge gets appointed.
5. Have the doctors declare the ward is PVS.
6. "Remember" some statements the ward made about not wanting to live this way. Have a siling and an in-law also "remember" such statements.

Is there any reason that plan shouldn't work?

That plan would probably work, although I wasn't aware that lawyers in Florida could choose which judge would hear the case.
