Appellate Court Ignores Advocates, Orders Terri Schiavo's Feeding Tube Removed
LAKELAND, FL, June 6, 2003 -- Florida's 2nd District Court of Appeal ruled that Circuit Judge George W. Greer was right last year when he scheduled the removal of the feeding tube that is keeping Terri alive. The three-member appeals court said that there is "no hope of a medical cure" and that there is "clear and convincing evidence" that she would not want to live in her present condition.
