Could you direct me to a link for that report? I've heard much to the contrary.
But regardless, I'm with Cherry, who said very succinctly in a previous post that it shouldn't matter if she is PVS or not. She was not terminally ill, she was severely brain-damaged, and we should not be in the business of killing people who don't fit our standard of quality living.
You mentioned lobbying the legislature instead of going through the court system - good point. The laws that were changed in 1999, IMO, were revised specifically to address this case and others like it that will come up in the future. The fact that Felos himself personally lobbied aggressively for those changes around the same time he took on the Schiavo case should be a red flag for everyone.
Although I must say, with Senate President Jim King being the author of those revisions to "end of life" laws, I bet efforts in the legislature would be uphill all the way. King was successful in limiting Terri's Law to one person, and it was found unconstitutional for that reason. He later said he regretted agreeing to that much, and vehemently opposed the idea of saving her life through legislation this time around.
The deck was stacked against the Schindlers from the beginning. It's no wonder things ended the way they did.
Try googling Guardian Ad Litem Wolfson or Schiavo Wolfson

So you believe regardless of someone's state and wishes that they can be kept as a "Chia Pet" for the benefit of others. Kind of sounds like slavery to me.

So if the Schindlers had lobbied against this law that would have disqualified them from suing under it?
