I assume you saw this (and may have posted on this), but I'm reposting just in case. Making Food and Water Life Support: Who had the law changed and why?

The Hapless Misadventures of the Pinellas County Court System keeps getting stinkier and stinkier and scarier and scarier. Michael Schiavo's attorney George Felos took his case and then filed the petition to introduce HB 2131 in 1999. Then the law in Tallahassee gets changed. Then the Schiavo case gets heard. In that order.

In April 1999 - House Bill 2131 was introduced in the Florida legislature by the Florida Elder Affairs & Long-Term Care Committee to amend Section 765 (Civil Rights) of the Florida Statutes. The amendments to Section 765.101 were the legal definition of "life prolonging procedures" to add: "INCLUDING ARTIFICIALLY PROVIDED SUSTENENCE AND HYDRATION, WHICH SUSTAINS, RESTORES, OR SUPPLANTS A SPONTANEOUS VITAL FUNCTION". It becomes law on October 1, 1999.

Who lobbied for changing the law to make food and water be defined as "artificial" life support in 1999?

HB 2131 GENERAL BILL by Elder Affairs & Long-Term Care (HFC); Argenziano; (CO-SPONSORS) Heyman; Sobel; Reddick; Fiorentino; Bilirakis; Littlefield; Kosmas; Bitner; Jacobs; Levine; Bloom.......

Keep this information on hand, nic ... because IF Terri had said she did not want to be kept alive with life-sustaining measures, her frame of reference could only have been Karen Ann Quinlan, on life support with a VENTILATOR, early 1990's, I believe. Nutrition and hydration were not even on the horizon at that time. Then her "incident." Then husband from hell meets attorney from hell. Attorney from hell has the Legislature change life-sustaining measures to include food and water. Now to get the courts to sanction the murder, which it did. She was factored into a situation where she could not possibly have consented ... floriduh voter is absolutely correct ... if she can be condemned retroactively, she can be saved retroactively. It's as simple as that. The only thing the Merchants of Death did not factor is was GOD. Man plans ... God decides. May His Name be praised forever.

The original source site of hyscience's information seems to be:
http://www.thedavidallenshow.com/topics/terrishiavo/20050228.somethingsfishy/ and its subordinate links.

At TheDavidAllenShow.com link I noticed this comment: "Note: Attorney George Felos and Judge Greer are/have been Hospice board members"
Since none of the links mention a date when Greer was a hospice board member, I've directly emailed the DavidAllenShow asking for a date.

The DaveAllenShow site has these other links with useful, interesting info:

God bless you for your Post# 1085....I hope everyone will take the time to read it!

I think this deserves another posting! Your post # 1085 that is!

It sickens me that Felos, a one Hospice board member, put this bill thru to the FLorida House, a bill that ALLOWED Greer to give Michael a pat on the back, and a YOU GO GUY as that monster received his OK to starve and dehydrate the wife he no longer loves.

I mean..he is porking and making babies with jodi the immoral when he isn't driving around in his silver mercedes. (WHILE TERRI IS ALLOWED NO COMFORTS, MIND YOU!)

Excellent work!

A very unlikely coincidence. It was planned strategy.

The pro-euthanasia forces have it all down pat and know precisely what they are doing. That's why we have to become much better when devising our own strategy.
