"The guardian has no discretion," said Felos. "It is not the guardian's decision to do this. It must be done because it is the order of this court."

When all of us decided we were going to vote no, it wasn't to be disruptive. It wasn't even to be collegial , said Sen. Jim King, R-Jacksonville, the author of the state's death with dignity law. We did so because in our heart of hearts we thought it was the right thing to do for Terri and it was certainly the right thing for people who are like Terri."

"it was certainly the right thing for people who are like Terri."


Scary, isn't it? Let's kill all those who are in PVS, who have any mental disease, empty the asylums by starving and dehydrating all the inmates, let's starve Down syndrome kids to death, those whose memory starts to fail and are starting to get Alzheimers, or other diseases, then how about the paraplegics, how about those with cancer, and so on.

That is where this slope is going.

Only those physically fit and mentally perfect -- AS DEFINED BY SOME JUDGE -- will be allowed food and water.

And of course, if any of them get sick or get into and accident and become less than perfect, off to the hospice with them to be starved and dehydrated to death.

Scarey stuff coming out of Florida...
