It is legal to dehydrate someone to death if they have requested this to be done on their behalf should they fall into a coma or PVS like state in which they are unlikely to ever recover and have stated to be pulled from life support should such a situation such as this occur. Do you really think Terri is the first to die in this manner?

It is NOT legal to dehydrate someone to death in Florida. It is legal to remove their feeding tube ... though it obviously wasn't in this case. The judge's order went beyond removal of the feeding tube to removal of all hydration and nutrition. His barring food and water of any kind was clearly unlawful.

Can you quote any Florida laws to back up this claim.
Why wouldn't the supreme court hear this case if it was clearly unlawful as you claim?
