If a person in Florida draws up a Will, there's a separate page that addresses withholding of nourishment and fluids if that's the desire of the Testatrix. In Terri's case, there is no written document, just her husband's words that "she told him she never wanted to be kept alive artificially." Now, I don't trust the husband any more than I trust O.J. Simpson.
It's one feeding tube and she can breathe on her own. She is not in a coma. She is not on a respirator or ventilator. She is a disabled woman. Her husband put her in a hospice instead of a nursing home. That speaks volumes. Thanks for your post.

My point is since Terri doesn't have a living will, why would the other laws not apply to her. Euthanas is prohibited in Florida under the genereal homicide laws. This would be a good place to check. Since this is not euthanasia it is homicide. Also, what about a petition to impeach or recall Judge Greer.. Do a search under judicial ethics and they tell you how. Fran

Don't forget, he didn't start to make those claims about her wishes till after he won all those malpractice suits.
