It's also a right to self-determination.


You can debate whether or not she really wanted this, but that is the only question that counts.

Years ago, after Cruzan, the US Supreme Court gave states the specific right to decide whether or not to use clear and convincing oral statements as though they were written out living wills.

Florida decided to allow just that. That is why we are here. Not because they don't think she has a right to live, but because she has a right to resist medical treatment, including feeding tubes.

But SHE is not gettng any say...only Michael her "husband." There is no evidence she said this, only his "word." Under the circumstances that he is living with another woman and has kids by her, he should be REMOVED as her guardian. And how about we ASK TERRI?
