Persistent Vegetative State is not only a medical diagnosis, but a legal determination. You are talking about the legal definition of PVS. The State of Florida provides a legal definition, which judges are required to adhere to.

100% agreement so far.

Judge Greer did not adhere to that definition.

Do you have a news paper quote, court record, etc that can be linked to to support this accusation against a sitting judge who had everything to lose by doing as you allege and worse yet, knew he was being watched? To break such an obviously checkable statute, in a high profile case would be remarkable in deed, surely you can give me more than your word that this highly improbable circumstance happened, right? (I am not saying it didn't, but if you guys feel so strongly about this, you should have stuff ready, I'm trying to help you out here.)

Every doctor who testified about Terri’s condition, stated that she had abilities beyond the requirements for a legal determination of PVS. Even the doctors hired by Michael to testify against Terri, described actions by Terri that negated any possible legal determination of PVS.

Great, then a simple link and quotation of the definition, coupled with a court transcript showing their testimony should be easy to find, document and thus your credibility when you allege improbable things will go up.

I am a Mormon, and as such face challenges here all the time. I care. I have answered many questions so many times that I decided that I should put the answers up in a reusable form here. Click on my name on any post, it takes you to my page. On my page, I have Quotations from the Catholic encyclopedia on line, my own churches web site, and suggested resources. One of you should compile such a page (if you really do care) You could have a clickable index like mine that takes people to the stands of current politicians on Terri and the issues presented by that case. You could have links to this astounding quotation you are all alluding to, and on this page which would be about the current election so it would get hits, you could subtly (or blatantly) push your proposal on a fix.

I really am trying to help you guys,and it does not take the long to build a web page like that, I would also suggest Personal Wiki page, I keep several, they help me keep my quotations straight, links to pictures, etc. I keep them by subject. Then when people ask you for a quote, you won't be hoping for someone else to have it, you will be the "Organized" one.
