Scoop, I assume you know that the law to withhold nutrition and hydration, via feeding tubes...now-called artificial life support, of those declared to be in PVS, was put into place AFTER Terri's collapse, by Senator King. Felos was involved with that, after Michael Schiavo hired him as his attorney.

I'm trying to find the law as it existed when Terri could state her wishes....where feeding tubes were NOT considered "artificial life support"; compare it to Senator King's sponsored law of feeding tubes being defined as "artificial life support"--after Terri couldn't state her wishes.

I'm thinking that should also be shown in timelines regarding Terri.....how could one reasonably or logically believe that it was Terri's wish to be starved/dehydrated to death if such an "option" was a felony when Terri could have stated "no tubes for me" as Felos claims she said. Feeding tubes were not then considered "artificial life support."

Here's an interesting connection between judge and attorney!

The PVS bit started with MS's handwritten note in the plan for rehab submitted to the court in 1991, before medical or legal determination of same, the California trip, the shunts, Felos, etc.

have commented on that extensively in past articles. It was pasased in 1999. Look at the Schiavogate article at www.theempirejournal.com. One of the legislators that passed it was Gus Bilkaris, hospice board member whose father is a member of COngress and the Health Care Committee. Bilkaris also a donator to Greer's campaign

That is so simply put...yet SO important!
