It seems like they have it exactly right on the morals test over there. You cannot take actions that will cause a person to die. Thus, the obligation is to help her stay alive. If a person is dying, it would be wrong to prolongue their suffering and there is no obligation to keep them alive.
Terri should not have had the feeding tube removed no matter what her husband says. She is not being "kept alive" she is just being helped to stay alive. Big difference that the judges cannot seem to comprehend.
Judge Greer has issued a clearly illegal order that no water or food can be given to Terri even by mouth. This is not just the removal of a feeding tube but this judge has denied a request by her parents to give her water and food naturally! No judge or court has this power not even for a terminally ill person which Terri is not and it does not take an attorney to figure this out. I defy anyone to find legal authorization, even in Florida law, for this order by Greer.
As is stated in another thread on an article by a doctor (William Anderson) in the Weekly Standard titled "Terri's Last Chance" there is no medical, legal or moral reason to not attempt a trial of natural drinking. He argues all the outcomes of such a trial, even if it results in a quicker death, are better than refusing to allow her to attempt to take food and water on her own. Only Greer's order stops this and such an order is not within the power of a court to make.
Jeb and George Bush should blast Judge Greer out of the water on this illegal order and immediately give her water by mouth. This could allow time to dismiss Greer for violating her human rights by his order and overturn the guardian decision. I fear everyone is so focused on the feeding tube issue that they have ignored the best opportunity of helping Terri and getting Greer off this case -- let her try to take water on her own by mouth.
