You're the one who made the statement, "... and then turn around the next year after receiving the money and say that she would not want to be kept alive like this."

That's not what happened. How can you post such a lie?

Now you change it to DNR and discontinue therapy. Fine. That's correct. He did, after consulting with her doctor.

Big difference between what you said the first time and the second time. Get it right. You're starting to waste my time with this backpedalling.

"it wasn't until 1998 that the Fl legislature passed the law that made it ok to kill someone that is in a PVS state and also that hearsay evidence could be used."

In the 1990 Florida Browning case, the Florida Supreme Court said that feeding tubes can be withdrawn from persons in a PVS if they wanted treatment refused.

Oh so you think by putting a DNR on her chart he is making it clear that TERRI WANTED to LIVE? No, he is saying very clearly that Terri does not want to live by doing so. You are just playing a game of semantics. DNR is synonymous with Let her die. Are are you implying that he put a DNR on her chart with no basis to do so? Or are you implying that he did it at that time because he wanted her to die regardless of her desires? Did he do it at that time because it was "Terri's" wish or was it done against Terri's wish.

In the 1990 Florida Browning case, the Florida Supreme Court said that feeding tubes can be withdrawn from persons in a PVS if they wanted treatment refused.

You left out the important legislation that occurred in 1998 that made hearsay evidence permissible in these types of cases.
