[The Red Zone]

Most states require written living wills, for good reason. They are no harder to do oneself than an ordinary will and no lawyer is needed, only a notary. The reason Schiavo's claimed recollection of Terri's wishes prevailed under FloriDUH law is that nobody could testify to the contrary... even if he lied, how do you prove a negative? This is far, far too weak a moral reed to support such a grave decision.

It must be Florida law that says Schiavo's claim is indisputable? Otherwise, couldn't you prove she wished to live or prove that she changed her mind and wants to live now via witnesses?
