Guess the court should have called you as an expert medical witness - given you are so sure of your knowledge of the inside of Terri's brain.

The Texas law I cited includes feeding tubes and people in the exact same state as Terri Schiavo. Bush signed it into law.

Is it all about Bush for you? Or perhaps you are trying to find common cause with Bush on something?

But I think the advance directives law you are talking about would not cause an institution to withhold food and water from a brain-damaged but non-terminal (i.e. not dying) person. But as I understand things in TX you would run into a similar situation as Florida if the guardian of the disabled person wanted the tube removed. This may change with the attention the Schiavo case has gotten.
