Here's the legislative and judicial skinny as I understand it [hasty research however]
Georgia law: closest living relative has the power of attorney. Reportedly redundant since the judge is going against her living will. And why is she in a hospice if she isn't terminally ill?
I read most of this as it was happening. Any update? Anyone who can break all this info down? I'm being lazy today but there is just so much info on this and yet nothing definite on if this woman is still with us.
If the "Death Culture" supporters had been smart, they would not have backed Michael Schiavo. The attention that Terri's case brought to this subject has opened a Pandora's Box of opposition this whole issue.
Now, their sinister actions are out in the open and they will face much stronger antagonism than might ever have erupted. In their anxiety to support Michael, they exposed themselves to the increased scrutiny and light of the Right To Life Culture. We will never let them hide again.
Thank all of you who are actively following this story and for your efforts. Sometimes I think, when I am facing this issue, I will want to just walk off in the woods and be allowed to die on my own terms, like the Indians.
