Terri Schiavo II

I'm disgusted. But not surprised.

Judge Greer AGAIN ruled in favor of removing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. The only positive side to this is that he delayed the deed for three weeks, which will give Terri's parents another chance to appeal. But where will they make their appeal? Which court will take the case? The Florida State Supreme Court has already thrown a previous appeal back to Judge Greer. The US Supreme Court has already refused to take the appeal.

Be sure to read the article linked above, because it gives a fairly thorough description of Terri's plight. It describes some of the court cases and includes bullet points of Michael Schiavo's apparent conflicts of interest and how he has acted against Terri's welfare.

Here is a link to the Schindler family website (this is Terri's parents), but when there's something happening in the news, their server gets overloaded, so you might need to check later.

Here is a link to the court briefs that were filed regarding "Terri's Law" on the Florida State Supreme Court public information website.

I'll keep following this case. It's too important on so many levels.
