One of the 'experts' Greer based his rulings regarding Terri as PVS upon said that Terri's EEG was flat, then in the next sentence said he was certain she was in PVS. Do you understand why that's proof the 'doctor' is an agenda driven quack?
No. You're arguing with me over things I never said.
I said that under the law the spouse is responsible for medical decisions like this when a person is unable to make such decisions themselves.
The fact is no less than SIX courts have been involved in this case and NONE have contested the application of the law making Michael Schaivo responsible for the decision.
