I know this has probably been answered on the numerous threads....but I have 2 questions:
1) Why didn't Michael S divorce her and let her parents care for her?
3) Since when is heresay, eg Michael saying "she told me she didn't to live this way" admissable?
Acceptance of hearsay evidence was one of the purposes of Terri's case. Now it is accepted in Florida as the right to withdraw tubes or "kill" those SOME CONSIDER UNWORTHY TO LIVE.
The end-of-life panel made recommendations for the State of Florida. They changed the rules so that the panel MADE law circumventing the legislature making laws. They changed the law to allow hearsay. (So much easier to find a neighbor that can be swayed to mention someone did not want to live after a stroke, etc. than to worry to find a distant relative).
This is very critical to all of us and our families. They are constantly changing the criteria of which should have care withdrawn. Do you wish a panel to change the laws in your state to enable killing your relatives?
