They should have done this a long time ago.
I have my doubts that this will go anywhere. It wouldn't surprise me that these folks already believe they have ruled on the "facts" and not see it as a "procedural" issue. I suspect they just want this to "go away".
IF, and this is a BIG IF, the ruling comes down in the Terri's favor, could it be overruled ar overturned by Greer or any other court? Continued prayers for Terri and her family.
I agree they want it to go away. I think that perhaps this is going to backfire on them. The more people realize just how torturous a way to die starvation and dehydration truly is, the more they might not want to take that action.
All this is being brought into the spotlight, and maybe, just maybe, people are starting to say "I don't want to die like Terri" instead of not wanting to live like Terri.
Euthanasia and resultant horrors are being thrown into our faces. Terri could have gone in obscurity, but now every breath is for all to see. This might just be very scary to those whose opinions have fallen on the side of death.
Maybe, just maybe, people are realizing that if a spouse chooses to kill you because you are crippled, he might just have the legal system on his side. And if that doesn't scare the bejesus out of everyone, then a huge wake up call is necessary.
