Terri's Schiavo's Right to "Privacy" Violated

So argues the vultures representing Michael Schiavo who have filed briefs challenging the legality of the emergency statute that allowed Gov. Bush to reinsert Terri's feeding tubes.

It argues that her constitutional right to refuse medical treatment was, in essence, cast aside by a statute that allows the governor to do that under any whim and without any standards and without any review," said George Felos, who represents Michael Schiavo, after filing the document.

Frigtening how Felos equates what is at best an alleged request to commit suicide through starvation as a mere refusal of medical treatment. I wonder if he thinks food is something that ought to be classified as a controlled substance.
