I heard those claims as well. But I know there is a hospice protocol that would indicate otherwise. The judge's order was not as specific as you believe. Have you read the order? Have you read the hospice's protocol?
You have been lied to. The hospice protocol could not over ride Greer's ruling any more than Terri's mother's wishes or the DCF. None of them had any choice, except Michael, who only allowed one drop of communion wine two times in the last two weeks. There was no turning back as is usual for AD's. Guns enforced the judge's order to dehydrate Terri, remember? I would welcome evidence to the contrary.
Here is the judge's ruling from March 7 (in anticipation of yanking the tube) from this post:

Greer's ruling:
Order
This cause came before the Court for hearing on March 7, 2005 on Respondents’ Emergency Expedited Motion for Permission to Provide Theresa Schiavo with Food and Water by Natural Means after the assisted nutrition and hydration are discontinued. The Court heard the argument of Daniel Gibbs, for the Respondents and of George Felos, for the Petitioner.
Having also reviewed portions of declarations or affidavits of several doctors, which were submitted to the Court by Respondents, it has become clear that the motion is part and parcel of the Respondents’ FLa. R. Civ. P Rule 1.540(b)(5) motion on medical evaluations. The same declarations are being used for both motions and the motion appears to be an alternative pleading to the 1.540(b)(5) motion. Both are asking for an experimental procedure. The Court reasons that if the 1.540(b)(5) motion is granted, there is no need for this motion. If the 1.540(b)(5) motion is denied, the Court should not do indirectly what is has not done directly.
It is therefore
Ordered and adjudged that the Respondents’ Emergency Expedited Motion for Permission to Provide Theresa Schiavo with Food and Water by Natural Means is DENIED.
