You don't know what Terri wants. All you 'know' is hearsay.

Do you think that all humans who are the condition she is in should be starved until they die, if they don't have anything in writing?

Are you a lawyer or do you just play one on TV? All we know is what she said. I guess in your view, she might have been lying too. Is that right?

I think the Florida statute is fair. If we know, to a clear and convincing evidence standard, what they wanted, they should be allowed their wish to die. Yes. The 'clear and convincing standard' compensates for the lack of a writing.

Unlike you, I think Judge Greer, despite being maligned by the ignorant, did his very best to be fair to everyone in the case and properly determined what Terri wanted.
