What about Terri's right to live?

"Because she didn't have a written health-care directive, Terri's being allowed to die is based on an uncorroborated oral statement she allegedly made to her husband's sister that she would not want to be kept alive under similar circumstances.

Even though this uncorroborated statement is inconsistent with the prior sworn testimony of her husband when he went to court seeking money in a malpractice case to pay for her rehabilitation (which was never provided), Florida Circuit Judge George Greer has ordered termination of Terri's feeding and hydration, regardless that she's neither terminally ill nor in a coma."

See, I knew I didn't trust the husband. Didn't I read last year that he has fiance waiting in the wings, but if he divorces Terri, he loses any rights to the settlement? Something like that. I'll look for the website.
