Which judge "made up" Florida Statute 765.404, under which Michael Schiavo was given the power to do exactly what is occurring? If you see a problem here, the problem is with the Florida legislature, not with Judge Greer.
However, Judge Greer's fiat-justice handling of this case has already been discussed elsewhere. At the very least, the possibility that the husband is in an adulterous relationship demands, from the POV of common law, not statutory law, that the Judge consider the possibility of conflict-of-interest and appoint someone (not himself) as a GAL to represent Terri's interest's, not Michael's.
That's just sanity. If 765.404, and the rest of the Florida code, doesn't permit sanity, show me.
Yep. As I thought. Another misrepresentation. I see a pattern here. The law is okay when it accurately finds the patients wishes. Well, some quibble with the ethics of forced starvation (I do), and the clinical determination of PVS (I have not made up my mind on that one), but leaving those aside -- the issue is that the finder of fact, Greer, blew the finding of fact.
I am inclined to advise people to NOT do a Living Will, because those can be construed against the patient's wishes. Better to have a trusted friend named as surrogate. You have abetter chance with them than with a morally and ethically bankrupt judicial and medical system. The legislation is fine. Plus, legislators language is twisted by the courts anyway, see SCOFLA and the 2000 election, for example.
