As far as I know, Terri has never been on life support.

I'm really not absolutely clear on this, and I don't have an original source -- just FR, but my understanding is that Felos was involved in getting Florida law changed to classify feeding tubes as life support. And I guess the law allows removal of "life support" from anyone diagnosed with PVS, at the decision of the guardian. This is why Greer admitted only medical testimony that Terri is in PVS.

But again, this is my original question: Has in fact, the Florida law been changed to classify feeding tubes as life support? How on earth could that happen? Do you mean a law was changed back then specifically for the legal guardian of Terri Schiavo without any judicial review? I'm still not understanding this.
