I am working on a large post, based on all the information give me here - THANKS!
A few things really trouble me, though.
1) How about a web site that is not a no name site with document pdfs? The http://www.zimp.org/stuff/nav.htm site could be BS. (I don't think so, but still...)
2) Why would an attorney, and attorneys are sticklers for detail, IMHO, not have put her typed name on the document? Sloppy work, if you ask me.
3) Further to my stickler point, why weren't one of the "did/did not" oath choices circled? Again, sloppy.
I want this document to be real, but I think it only fair to apply the same level of scrutiny to it as was applied to Dan "See BS" Rather's "proof".

Like everything else in this society, standards for documents have deteriorated at some times, probably happens all the time. A technicality wouldn't necessarily invalidate as far as I am concerned, probably should legally, but I still am not sold on it, shouldn't even say I would like it to be true. If it is true, it makes the husband look worse than my impression of him if the document never came into it.
Human nature being what it is, I would not be surprised at people feeling like that in ordeals that go on and on.
I've followed this case from the beginning, not as intensely as some dedicated people on here, and my mind is up, and I don't want to look at any more documents or web pages.
I've discussed other controversial issues until I'm practically blue in the face, and people are intractable. They very seldom can be persuaded. They just dig in and defend their positions all the more stubbornly.
I hope she gets a fair shake by the judge now.
Personally, there are some aspects of this I took for granted before. Someone mentioned living wills/advance directives are a form of assisted suicide, and I had never thought of that. Off topic for what you are trying to do.
Welcome. I welcome you more if you are on Terri's side, possible faked documents and misinformation on either side notwithstanding.
The assumption that lawyers are "sticklers for detail" is incorrect. Lawyers are just as disorganized as doctors, and were it not for their secretaries, they'd never survive. (I'm still trying to figure out how they got through law school. Then I look at where they attended, and it becomes clear.)
