"People can and do change their minds"

Of course. Was there any evidence whatsoever that Terri had done so? Any evidence?

It makes a good case for filing a medical directive so people know what your wishes are. The reason she never got around doing so is completely understandable. When you're 22, you think you're in good health and don't have to contemplate about preparing for the worst. I still maintain, that in the absence of any evidence to the contrary or the absence of it, the rebuttable presumption ought ALWAYS to be in favor of life.

Was there any evidence whatsoever that Terri had [changed her mind]?

Well, we know one thing for certain.

Greer didn't bother to meet with Terri, to determine how she felt about being starved and dehydrated.

I wonder what he would have learned from Terri, a few days into her starvation...

"[Nancy Cruzan, three days before her death from starvation]
turned and looked at me and stared at me with
a panicky look, sweating profusely,
and the thought I had was, she was thinking,
‘Oh, here’s a policeman, he’ll help me.’
But we weren’t allowed to do that,"...
