No, I have not presumed anything. An unbiased trial court found by clear and convincing evidence what her desires were. Then that process was reviewed for fairness and sufficiency of the evidence by over 40 judges on five courts in a total of 15 appellate reviews over 7 years and affirmed each time. Those who contend that we "don't know" or "can't know" are those who are 'presuming.' They are denying reality. I am simply willing to accept the determination of over 40 unbiased judges. That's how we know what she wanted.
Terri was not being pumped full of anything.
Have you ever seen a feeding tube worked? First, they use the tube to suction out the stomach juices with a syringe to make room for the slurry and then they fill the syringe with the 'nutritional' slurry and force it through the tube by means of the syringe into the stomach. Then they cap off the tube until the next pumping. Of course, they'll get to change the diapers a couple of times in the interim. Man, that's really "living"!
It's no poetic "... river that starts in the mountains and flows to the valleys below." It's a river of hell that no one would want.
No justice, no peace!! I miss Terri.
"An unbiased trial court found by clear and convincing evidence what her desires were."
You have no evidence that the court was unbiased, much less that the evidence was clear and convincing. There was contrary testimony.
"Then that process was reviewed for fairness and sufficiency of the evidence by over 40 judges on five courts in a total of 15 appellate reviews over 7 years and affirmed each time."
Actually, no, all of the subsequent judges ducked and ran from the issue. No judge actually reviewed or affirmed anything except that they did not want to get involved.
