No, I don't believe Jeb Bush has done all he can. Judge Greer has not only ordered that her feeding tube be withdrawn (the so called "artificial" support) he has also denied a request by her parents that she be given water and food by mouth. This order is clearly illegal. No judge or guardian has the power to deny a person nourishment by natural means and it does not take an attorney to figure this out. I defy anyone to find legal authorization, even in Florida law, for this order.

As is stated in another thread on an article by a doctor (William Anderson) in the Weekly Standard titled "Terri's Last Chance" there is no medical, legal or moral reason to not attempt a trial of natural drinking. He argues all the outcomes of such a trial, even if it results in a quicker death, are better than refusing to allow her to attempt to take food and water on her own. A decent and humane society, which we claim to be, owes Terri at least the opportunity to try to take a drink. Only Greer's order stops this and such an order is not within the power of a court to make or a guardian to enforce.

Jeb and George Bush should blast Judge Greer out of the water on this illegal order and immediately give her water by mouth. He is only getting away with this order by default because there has been so much focus on the feeding tube. We don't know if Terri could accept enough nutrition to stay alive but every human being has the right to try to take a drink of water! If it works, this could allow time to dismiss Greer for violating her human rights by his order and overturn the guardian decision.

I believe it is legal since they 'proved' that Terri didn't want to live this way in a court of law. (Even though everyone knows it's BS).....and also because Dr.s say she is PVS (More BS)....so I think it's legal.

Exactly. Instead her family is stripped searched to make sure they are not sneaking anything into her room. I couldn't even watch rats die like that, but I am getting hardened to watching Greer, Felos and Mikey die like that. Especially Greer. He is legally blind. He should be ordered to starve to death for his disability.
