And I honestly do not think that anybody would ever say they'd rather starve to death than be kept alive by having food given to them (except for MS, Felos and other "right-to-deathers").

Schiavo's wishes recalled in records

In court, family members on both sides recounted what Terri said she wanted.
By WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE, Times Staff Writer
Published November 8, 2003

...Mrs. Schiavo's former friend, Diane Meyer, recalled watching a movie about Quinlan in the summer of 1982 after they graduated high school.

"I remember one of the things she said is, "How did they know she would want this? How did they know she wouldn't want to go on?"' Meyer testified.

Circuit Judge George Greer later ruled that Mrs. Schiavo's feeding tube could be removed.

The judge said he was persuaded by testimony by Michael Schiavo. He said that testimony, combined with statements of other family members, was "clear and convincing evidence."

He discounted things Mrs. Schiavo might have said as a child about Quinlan.

Right-do-deathers would never say they want to starve to death themselves. They'll quickly say it about everyone else, except maybe convicted murderers.
