I wouldn't go too far down that road. Wolfson was certainly part of the pack and he agreed with Greer on 99.7%. It was particularly galling because he was the only legal representation Terri got and his legal duty was to look after HER interests, not the guardian's. I think his call for swallowing tests was window dressing. Camouflage. An ounce of "dissent" to play up in the press while putting one more knife in Terri's back.

Jay Wolfson is out on the Death with Dignity Speaking Tour with the others. I have no doubt they go to banquets that serve both water and food.

I think you're right about Wolfson. He was on TV, radio and everything else promoting Terri's death prior to and during the time of her tube removal. Like you said, the offer of another swallow test was bogus, imo too.

IIRC, he recommended another swallow test only if the Schindlers would consent to some sort of agreement. Not sure but I think the agreement was something like this - if Terri doesn't pass the swallow test, you the Schindlers will back off. Does this sound familiar?

Maybe, but in retrospect, it might of been her only chance. He went on to say that if she could swallow she was not PVS. The report went to the Govenor and he could've ordered the test himself based on that alone imo.
