Previously it was Michael Shiavo acting as Terri's guardian who, with the court's permission, ordered the feeding stopped. This time it was the court itself tht directly issued the starvation order.

It may seem like a distinction without a difference, especially from Terri's point of view, but think about it. It was not one individual doing it, at his discretion with a court's permission, as bad as that is; it was the State of Florida doing it, and I would like to know what the source of authority is that allows a state judge to order the starvation of a U.S. citizen.

Cordially,

No, I would say this is a huge difference.

Did the judge order this as a result of Terri's Law being declared unconstitutional?

Kinda just picking up where they last left off?
