In the end, the judge even forbade Mr. Schiavo from putting Terri's feeding tube back in if he chose to do so. See the quote from the Florida Second Dictrict Court of Appeals below:
“The trial court’s decision does not give Mrs. Schiavo’s legal guardian the option of leaving the life-prolonging procedures in place. No matter who her guardian is, the guardian is required to obey the court order because the court, and not the guardian, had determined the decision that Mrs. Schiavo herself would make.”
That's because Schiavo used his right as proxy to request that the judge make the decision. Once he did that, it was out of his hands.
In the end, Greer even forbade ANY method of feeding he food and water - for they knew she could very probably, from past testimony, eat and drink in the normal manner.
are they saying GrimGreer was constrained by law to so order?
Show me the law...
