So...if when she was around 20 Terri had allegedly said to her alleged husband and his family "if i get in a vegetative state, please kill me by strangeling me to death" those wishes would be carried out by a state court? Seems to me that is what they are saying when they accept hearsay evidence allegedly said when someone was still young and immmature as fact. They are saying the hearsay testimony is as good as a legal written document...so why would anyone need that anymore, all they have to do is lie and have close family members back them up. Outrageous!

Well first, you'd have to hire FELOS, to get to SENATOR KING, to get the law changed to ALLOW FOR DEATH BY STRANGULATION, while the patient is in a HOSPITAL UNABLE TO SPEAK OR TALK.

Because, right now, DEATH BY STRANGULATION IS A FELONY.

At the time Terri could talk, DEATH BY WITHHOLDING FOOD AND WATER, VIA A TUBE, WAS A FELONY.

Michael Schiavo hired Felos when Terri couldn't speak her wishes, got the LAW CHANGED so HE COULD WITHHOLD FOOD AND WATER FROM TERRI SO HE COULD KILL HER.

Heard tonight that when HER good friend tried to show in court that she DID NOT want to die, it was thrown out because court forgot that Karen Ann Quinlan lived for ten years after her life support was removed.

Yes it is outrageous and I will add that this case will set precedence for cases to come. Now, any man or women who's spouss is supposedly in a Vegetative State can say that their spouse said they wouldn't want to have a feeding tube or live like that. Nice huh? I bet you that will start happening a lot more!
