"You just have to decide to throw away the last couple of hundred years of laws passed respecting the rights of married people to make Health Care decisions for each other"
“While the next of kin are given first consideration by section 744.312(2)(a), the
statute does not mandatorily require that such an appointment be made. To the contrary,
the statute specifically provides that ‘(t)he court may appoint any person who is qualified
. . . whether related to the ward or not."
744.312, Florida Statutes (2000).
Guardianship is a judiciary appointment. What laws were you refering to?
The "law" also allowed for the Schinlders to petition for a change of gaurdianship.
"No,it comes from the fact that they were all over the airwaves claiming MS was a murderer and an abuser".
Your the only one I know that paid attention to that crap.
It came from the wholesale denial of Medical Science by the so-called advocates of TS...
As long as people are free to believe what they wish in this society, you nor science have any right to deny the Schindler's

"Its like claiming you are for 'family values'. It implies your opponents values are not 'family values'- which I am sure he would disagree with... Especially since its a term completely without definition. But who cares... As long as you pretend to
the moral high-ground with a Name Game, why do you need substance?"

Please address this: At the Time MS petitioned to have his wife's life ended, most of the money was there. You don't see any conflict of interest over the money let alone MS having relationships with two women and 2 children by the second?
"and over 30 court hearings determine that the husband has the right to say what happens in this"
I count 12 "hearings" during which Greer's decission may have been scrutinized including the US and Florida supreme courts
"refusal to hear" decrees.
Do me a favor Davin and quit analyzing the structure of people's arguments instead of addressing what you know damn well they actually said.
