The water via mouth would have choked her to death and he would be up on manslaughter charges.

Exactly. Those nutcases ringing the hospice and demanding access to take her water (and a burger w/fries) would have killed her if they'd had their way. I guess to some, death by a stupid but compassionate act is far more acceptable than a person who states a desire not to have their life prolonged by artificial means.

Sure. You can tell that after the fact from an autopsy report after the victim went through weeks of dehydration. I'm sure that the autopsy report also explains how she swallowed her own saliva and did not drool. You mean it doesn't? Well, how about that...

Please, this is not the place or time for sane, rational discussion.

>> he would be up on manslaughter charges.

Killing Terri Schiavo gets you an awards banquet, not criminal charges.
