What this says is too many people in the Florida government back MS and company, or don't want to push it to the limit...he doesn't have enough power to pull it off...

Think about what it says about the government there...and what it says about too many Floridians.

It's not about the right to die.

It's about having the state declare that you should die without any more proof that you wanted this than the hearsay of a person who has a conflict of interest.

It's worse than that; all someone needs is "custody" on paper. The blood relatives do not matter at all anymore. ANY judge can now declare what Greer has and the Exceutive branch of government cannot stop it. Food and water is now "life by artificial means."

My stake in all this is my youngest, who is Down Syndrome. After my wife and I are gone, can someone obtain "custody" over my other children, decide his "quality of life" and deny him food and water with the affirmation of a killer judge and starve him to death?

What is happening to Terri is a horrid development. Not only should the handicapped be concerned but the elderly as well. This could be how they plan on fixing Social Security.
