I agree......many might think this "murder" but the majority of the polls like 65% or so say they would want the feeding tube removed and the govt to stay the hell out of this family matter....the definition of murder does not have legal standing in this matter except for as a "moral judgment".......one I am not prepared to make at this time

That is correct, but the legal definition of "criminal neglect of a disabled adult" in the Florida Statutes does! Failure to feed a disabled adult is criminal neglect. Court order enjoined anyone from attempting "Natural Feeding" on Terri.
The PVS statute allows removal of a feeding tube - it DOES NOT remove the other statutory protections given any disabled adult.
Death resulting from criminal neglect of a disabled adult is felony manslaughter 1.
Therefore, the court order prohibiting natural feeding of Terri is an order by the court to commit a crime and cannot be valid. Jeb needs to send in the National Guard.

If 65 percent said robbery and rape are okay, would that make those acts okay?
