Your own post just serves to undo your argument that a living will is all that Terri needed and that her lack of executing one put her in this predicament.
There are many instances where the State has decided to intervene and take over the care from the legal guardian,and Florida is attempting to do that now. The problem is with Greer who seems to be willing to disregard all jurisprudence about such cases of interventions and basically impose his own rules,
When you let judges do that who is to say that he would respect anybody's living will including your own unless it matched his own version of what's right.

The value of a Living Will now, or 15 years ago was great.
The value of a Living Will under the new Federal Law will be almost nill.

Vastly different circumstances.
