"Could you show me the Florida statute that says a feeding tube is life support? Because Felos was using this case as a test case to change Florida law

What Greer is doing and all the courts have ignored is denying her the opportunity to have food or water by mouth. That is euthanasia and is not permitted under Florida law. Whether she could take water or not is immaterial and in any case we don't know what would happen, at least it would give her a chance and she has none right now. On this order at least the Shindler's have the law on their side -- giving water by mouth is not in any shape, fashion or form artificial lilfe support as mentioned in the Florida statute. Any outcome of a trial of drinking, even death by choking, is preferable to what is going on now.

What I cannot figure out is why Jeb Bush and her parents are so focused on getting the feeding tube back in when it is clear that this will not happen when this other clearly illegal order by Greer is alpparently going unchallenged.

She can't be fed by mouth. If she could sip or chew all her parents had to do was feed her and offer her a drink on camera and case would have gone in their favor. The story that she can be given food or water by mouth is another false hood arising from this case.

Instead of having her try and speak or follow a balloon - "here Terri chew on this cookie - swallow this juice" didn't happen - sadly can't happen.
