The following is an excerpt from WEAR3 Pensacola:

"Florida lawmakers are proposing two new avenues to keep Terri Schiavo and others like her from having food or water withdrawn.
One proposed bill would prevent the removal of nutrition or hydration unless a person has specifically signed consent forms allowing food and water to be withheld.
Meantime, activist Randall Terry is pushing a change in Florida's Guardianship laws.
His idea is that a spouse...like Michael Schiavo, who begins living with someone else, would lose their status as guardian.
((Randall Terry: "The presumption is that they no longer have the best interest of their disabled spouse in a life or death situation and so their guardianship would be revoked."))
Time is the enemy for both legislative concepts.
To succeed they must keep Terri Schiavo alive until lawmakers begin meeting March 8th."


Maybe if the family gets special session this can be pushed through.

"Big" Jim King of FL's most populous city will this time be leading the pro-euthanasia forces in the legislature if there is a special session.

well, Michael Schiavo had two conflicts of interests at first...he would have inherited all that money set aside for Terri's care and rehabilitation....where he swore to the jury that Terri was his life and that he would care for her until he died....he has now spent almost all her money on lawyers to end her life. The other conflict is that he has been living with another woman for years and he has two children with her. Clear Conflict of Interest but he Judge ignores it.
