Thank you for sharing your opinion.

I don't buy any of your "facts."

In my humble opinion, both the law and the facts on the side of Judge Greer, the Second District Court of Appeals, the Florida Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court.

And if the highest court of the land upholds this 15-day-shelf-life law, created especially to overcome a judicial outcome, then the law will be on the side of the Schindlers.

What will happen the next time there is another Terri Schiavo in Florida? Will the legislature pass another special law?

What will happen when a new governor is elected? Will the new governor lift the stay on Terri Schiavo?

"Terri's Law" did not fit the systemic problem in Florida, nor saved Terri's life indefinately, even if upheld by the highest court.

Both Floridians and Terri deserve finality on this issue.

This has not just happened to Terri. There's many cases like this that we didn't hear about. Terri's case has made national news, others haven't. Put the name "Hugh Finn" or "Marjorie Nighbert" in your search engine and read their stories.

Fine with me. If the legislature needs to pass a "special law" to correct abuses of the judiciary, more power to them!

So true. The Legislature needs to take this time to totaly revamp the previous law that allows a guardian to kill someone on heresay evidence. Thank God that we have a system of checks and balances...
