In hearings leading to Greer’s 2000 decision, three people testified Terri would want to be removed from artificial life support, which at the time of her collapse did not include nutrition and hydration. Since Terri’s collapse in 1990, Florida lawmakers have broadened the definition of artificial life support to include nutrition and hydration. The three witnesses were Michael Schiavo, his brother and his sister-in-law, according to Barbara Weller, an attorney representing the Schindlers.
Terri’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, however, have said their daughter, a devout Catholic, would not want to be starved to death in violation of the church’s teachings --
Yup. 3 people. Schiavo, his brother and his sister in law.
Florida lawmakers have broadened the definition of artificial life support to include nutrition and hydration.
Notice at the time of Terri's collapse in 1990, feeding someone wasn't considered anything other than ordinary care. It's doubtful that Terri would have included being fed through a tube as anything other than normal if she HAD made the statements that were claimed. AND, it was supposedly an off hand remark during a TV show, not a real conversation. The court was really stretching when it claimed Schiavos testimony as "clear and convincing evidence".

You notice it's HIS family who heard her supposed wishes. Has anyone thought to subpoena their bank/property records?
