I did not know that petitions were being presented in addition to the earlier 27,000 emails. Has the governor said thqt he has no jurisdiction here?

Terri is now down to just over 308 hours before the feeding tube is removed. Was she fed at all when the tube was removed earlier? I presume that she was denied food by mouth even if she could take it from a spoon. No one has answered that question, at least not to my knowledge.

What is wrong with FL and Pinellas Co.? That is the question.

That's actually a very good question and it should be addressed. When Terri had her nutrition halted before, her siblings went to the facility where she was and started questioning nurses and doctors if they could try spoon-feeding her. Questions, mind you. They did nothing more.

Well, they nearly ended up in jail and both were barred for six months afterwards. That was for asking if they could try baby food with Terri.

Now, those of you reading this, please keep in mind that the "husband" and his lawyer do not want Terri fed by spoon because of the fear that she will not properly handle soft foods or fluids and aspirate them, causing complications. However, they have no problem forcing her to dehydrate to death.

Screwy little set of personal concerns, wouldn't you say?

Barring her own siblings. If that isn't heartless...
