“Greer ordered that Terri be deprived of nutrition and hydration and his orders were carried out at gunpoint. “
Because Terri’s husband requested that action be taken.
Again, it must be repeated, the court came down on the side of a man who when married to Terri Schiavo, came under suspicion, never disproven, of having caused her initial injury.
He then went on to live with and father children by another woman while still “married” to Terri and relentlessly crusading for her death.
He found a judge who, in violation of the law, ordered natural means to preserve her life (food and water ingested directly through the mouth) not be given, unless given by the man who wanted to end her life without suffering the consequences of murdering her.
You may call him her husband if you wish, I choose not to dignify him with that title based on his actions and the violation of (at least formerly) standard marriage vows.
Both the judge and the “husband in name only” got away with murder for the time being, but will face ultimate judgment for their actions along with the rest of us.
“Because Terri’s husband requested that action be taken.”
What the hell does that have to do with anything? The judge could have made her a ward of the state & told the bozo husband to go fly a kite. Just because the “husband” asked for the tube feedings to be withheld, dosen’t mean the judge should have done so. The judge should have stood up for what was right. Your argument is ridiculous.
