What does 15 day stay mean?

It means that, if Terri isn't already dead or genuinely terminal by the time the bill passes, we'll have 15 days to push for more action to:

• Require a guardian ad litem in any cases where a guardian is trying to kill a ward or access a trust fund containing more than some dollar amount. Right now the standard is that one is required any time there is a possible conflict of interest, but a judge gets to decide what that means.
• Somehow allow the Schindlers to bring a case before a trial court judge other than Lord Voldemort.
• Provide in statute that a guardian who wishes to end the life of his ward shall be presumed to be less fit than the person's parents, children, spouses, or other nearest surviving relative(s), if the latter wish to keep the person alive, and provide that in any such case where guardianship has not previously awarded by jury, the latter shall be allowed to seek a new guardianship hearing before a new judge and any procedure that would kill the ward shall be stayed until such hearing is complete.

Those sound good for starters?

15 days from when? Is it grandfathered?

Will Terri have a tube before then?

Will these terms make it into Terri's Bill regardless?

Legal stuff doesn't sink in too well with me. Too many shades of grey.

The key is to cage it as a way to PREVENT future innocents from being killed/murdered:

THe problem here is that HE SAID she didn't want to be kept alive. NO ONE else knows what she wanted.

So, the 15 day period should also add:

Ought to add a requirement (for FL at least!) that all future wills include a living will section for: (1) only minor action to keep the signee alive if they are unconscious, (2) normal sustaining action (3) heroic sustaining action desired.

That Driver License renewal include that authorization as a signature,

That AT LEAST 3 out of 5 medical members on an elected state medical board review and authorize (for the governor) approval to remove life support if there are questions/conflicts. (No more single judge ruling!)
