In a way we all have standing because when the law is violated and someone is illegally Euthanized, it sets a precedent which places us all at greater risk.

Courts almost never grant 'general standing'. On the other hand, it would seem like it should be possible for parents to file for an injunction against killing Terri pending guardianship, on the same basis that people can file injunctions to prevent the destruction of documents, animals, or artifacts until all matters related to their disposition are settled.

Whatever is the better strategy. I just want to make it clear I didn't use the term "general standing" even if it could be understood that way.

However, I bet you could find some court in this country where such a case could be filed.
