It is illegal to deprive a person of food and water.

Then I have been treated illegally many times, once at Disneyland when I ran out of money (sorry, it's that sense of humor thing again.)

Judge Greer did not merely order the withdrawal of food and water provided through a feeding tube. He ordered that Terri not be given food and water naturally. Not so much as an ice chip on her lips.

I can kind of understand this since feeding her manually had been tried before, kind of.

He wouldn't even allow her to receive the Last Rites.

This makes absolutely no sense, and to me seems an unlikely order, do you have a reference?

That was an illegal order. Bjs1779, do have that order handy?

It most certainly would be, I hope you guys get your quotations in order, see the link I just gave in an earlier post, if this is as bad as you say it is, you need to have all this stuff waiting to present to people, when they are open to it, as I obviously am right now.

What do you want, the court order from Greer that she would not be fed by mouth?

I think it reads something like this:

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED the Respondents' Emergency
Expedited Motion for Permission to Provide Theresa Schiavo with food
and Water by Natural Means is is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida, this 8 day of March, 2005.

It is clear that the credible testimony was that given by Dr. Bamhill for various reasons, not the least of which is that he has examined Terri Schiavo and reviewed her medical records.

While the attorney for the Respondents did get him to acknowledge that he could not say with certainty how much of her nutritional requirement she might be able to ingest orrally, he was quite positve that in no way could she comsume enough in the manner to sustain herself. The court does not feel that another medical procedue merely to specify what portion of insufficiency would result from the removal of the feeding tube warrants the granting of the Petition. Accordingly, It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Petition for Order Aurthorizing Evaluation, be and the same is hereby denied. http://judgegeorgegreer.com/docs/030805orderdenyfood.pdf
