“Federal Terri’s Law”?

The Honorable Dave Weldon, M.D., U.S. Congressman from the east coast of Florida, announced yesterday that he intends to introduce on March 8 an Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act that would make Federal Courts available to contest withdrawal of medical treatment in the absence of valid written instructions by the patient.

Only a massive outpouring from their constituents will move Members of Congress to act quickly enough on this vital bill to give Terri her chance at life.
