[Spiff]

This was not euthanasia, state sponsored or otherwise. This was the judicial system enforcing the state constitution, allowing a person to refuse medical treatment. Period.

You seem to be having trouble finding the actual verbage of Judge Greer's death order. Here is the relevant portion. Could you please point out for me the portion that discusses medical treatment or its removal?

IN RE: THE GUARDIANSHIP OF THERESA MARIE SCHIAVO, Incapacitated - 25 Feb 05

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion for Emergency Stay filed on February 15, 2005, is DENIED. It is further
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that absent a stay from the appellate courts, the guardian, MIACHAEL SCHIAVO, shall cause the removal of nutrition and hydration from the ward, THERESA SCHIAVO, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2005.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers, at Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida, at 2:50 p.m. this 25 day of February, 2005.

GEORGE W. GREER

Shall is the key word Spiff, not MAY but SHALL. State ordered death.
