Hospices need patients and Greer has (in effect) redefined "vegetative" to include many more patients, during his handling of Terri's case.

Contrary to Florida law and established medical practice, the trial court imposed a new requirement that persons with severe disabilities demonstrate not just voluntary action "of any kind," as the state law's plain language specifies, but rather "consistent" and "reproducible" actions or responses to establish their own cognition.

Until We the Sovereigns of these United States let our outrage over socialist societal engineering judges be known and FELT, this sort of evil in our midst is laid at our door. We are responsible for not remaining vigilant in our own nation, our own states, our own neighborhoods. Terri Schiavo is about to be executed because We the People have acquiesced to judges and courts establishing our collective morality. This Greer ghoul is a prime example of an amoral person placed in power and reshaping our nation's morality. If We the People leave bastards like this in power, we are ultimately to blame for the immoral nation we become. I'm sorry to feel compelled to state this, but it appears that the politicians in Flordia are playing this to the hilt suing Terri's life as a pawn. Governor Bush is acting only in half-assed measures, it would appear, to involve his office incrimentally ... and Terri will be dead before Jeb Bush takes decisive action to protect her as a citizen of Florida. If this murderous husband and complicit/accomplice Judge are successful in executing Terri through neglect or direct withdrawal intervention, it is the Governor of Florida who has failed to do his duty to the citizenry of Florida ... unless Jeb agrees with the Judge and is seeking to hide that fact behind feckless inaction.

Justification for terminating all mentally retarded people?

Didn't the Nazis do the same thing?
