So Felos petitioned the court to change the law as it stood in Florida to make feeding tubes considered "life support"? And that's why the feeding tube was allowed to be removed from Terri? And all we hear today is that Congress and the President should not have intervened in this case to change the law for one person. Did that not happen already in Terri's case by Felos then?

I doubt that he petitioned the court. The change went through the legislature, and Felos was just one of those pushing for the change. I don't know the date of change to the law or the date Felos first became involved in this case. Recall that he's big in the Hemlock Society, and loves Schiavo-type cases (guess on which side!) -- I heard he is or was involved in about 10 of them. So this case wouldn't have been his only motivation.

He may also be on the Board of the hospice involved, and I think I saw that Greer is, too. Florida may be as corrupt as Massachusetts (yes, I'm from MA).
