The higher court upheld the finding of what Terri desired I assume. I don't know about the expert testimony issue. Maybe it was found to be surplusage or harmless error, I don't know. The problem is making such a finding based on uncorroborated oral testimony, particularly when the spouse has contrary pecuniary interests. That is beyond the pale. But given the robes, we need a law. We need it now; well actually we needed it yesterday, and given the state of Florida Scotus, we probably needed a federal law, as substantive federal law, not a procedural one now being batted around. I am unsentimental about suicide, euthanasia, and the like, but I know the potential for abuse when I see it, and I see it here. Pity that so many cards have been played, with so many asleep at the switch, including myself, that now the king on the chess board is close to check mate, and it is probably too late. That is a shame.

I think Terri will go hungry till Monday evening when Congress gets off its proverbial a$$ and sends Marshalls to protect their witness.
That will give them time to pass a law that will put this thing back into the courts.
Hopefull Terri will be able to speak halfway intelligably by the time the murderous 'judge' Greer has a chance to try and murder her again.

"IF" this inhumane torture of one, wakes up enough people then this gal did not live in vain. However, I have not given up faith, cause if this gal wanted to die so badly she surely has failed to exhibit that evidence.

Your 804. Very good and on the money.
But not all of us have been asleep at the switch which is why the frustration level is so high. The editors don't publish my letters concerning Terri Schiavo and the courts, my Congressman could care less, the Presidents comment line knows my comment before I make it and my donations to her legal fund seem so damn fruitless.
Ah sh6T!
