There was NO convincing evidence anywhere close to beyond reasonable doubt about Terri's wishes. There was also no "clear and convincing" evidence about Terri's condition.

you have not figured out the situation.
terri was placed in a hospice as a PR and cost effective
way to save the malpractice trust.
you can always justify pulling the tube
on a hospice patient but trying it on a
nursing home patient.

The finder of fact can give such weight to conflicting testimony as the finder of fact wishes. Greer was God, in practical effect. The abuse of discretion standard as a basis of appeal almost NEVER succeeds. You don't like it? Change the law.
