I don't if they were wrong and neither do you.
"The courts determined that it was her desire not to be sustained in a PVS indefinitely by ANY means."
Let us set the record straight on this one right now. First of all, the court ordered a guardian ad litum who said Terri should not have the feeding/hydration tube removed, so the guardian ad litum was removed. Then the court looked into whether she was in a PVS state and the courts first heard 4 doctors and 2 said she was NOT in a PVS state, and 2 said she was, so the court hired, a 5th doctor, who worked with the judge, who also said Terri was in a PVS state. The court determined that she was in a PVS state.
The court also heard testimony from 4 withnesses regarding her wishes. Three of the witnesses (all named Schiavo) said they had heard her say that she didn't want to live like "that" (whatever "that" means), and a 4th witness that Terri actually got mad at for making a joke about Karen Ann Quinlan and the rest of that story which indicated that Terri disagreed with having a respirator removed, much less a feeding tube.
