That's a bit of good news. I know I'm not throwing in the towel.

I hope kimmie7's ping list is growing. I've seen names on Terri's threads that are new to me and those folks are helping too.

sorry for the double post, it didn't show up at first!

In all of my searching so far, I have yet to find a case where the court was unable to do this.

In fact it has gotten more and more easy for them to do it. It seems to me like we have a very ugly system of runaway courts in place.

What it seems to hinge on, from the cases I have found and posted on so far, is first, a person saying the supposed PVS person would not want to live in that situation, though some cases are coming out where the court just went ahead and assumed the person would want to be killed...and second a feeding tube in place.

Did you see the case where the staff at a nursing facility taught the patient to eat with a spoon while the court was trying to have the feeding tube removed and kill her? By the time they got the order the patient was weaned from the feeding tube.

It seems like the best hope for Terri is jello, after all. Legally the parents and sibs are probably prohibited from trying to feed her, but why would Felos, etc, care if something went wrong when he wants her to die anyway.

Me either. No towel throwing allowed. My ping list is now 6 lines long and growing by around 5 names a day. YAY!!

I'll be on the research and coordination 'front lines' most of the night.
