Bottom line...no thinking person could ever believe terri's wish was for this to be imposed based upon hearsay and remembered after a great big cash windfall designated to be used for therapy and rehabilitation measures for Terri's anticipated long life. The money was NEVER used for this. And the murder by judicial decree never considered the outstanding evidence that refuted michael schiavo's CLAIM (not terri's claim) that she would have wanted to die this way.
Nope.
No one.
Besides...michael never allowed terri swallowing tests after he got the money....maybe SHE DID NOT NEED THE TUBE....we will never know.
Michael has effectively seen to that...may he have to hide away in his hole forever....living a worse life than he laid upon Terri....forever.

(Our Father in Heaven touched the Pope, who KNEW of Terri, Terri got her mass, VATICAN STYLE!)
I too think Greer's conclusion of fact (Terri wished to terminate food and water) was in error.
But, the decision is within the law, and was upheld by both the Florida and Federal court systems. The factual detrmination, once made, is very hard to reverse.
I won't defend the outcome. I think it is indefensible on several levels. But it is what it is, and accurately represents, I think, the sense of justice present in our court and legislative systems.
