Dieing in peace? She was starved to death, given no fluids, dehydrated, lips cracked, eyes sore. The mucuous membranes of the body are more sensitive then the rest -- when they dry out it is a constant irritation and pain.

Dear ol' billbears have YOU ever gone without food and water for 24 hours? Or 48? Try it. Tell us then how "peaceful" it is.

I had a co-worker, in support of Michael Schaivo, tell me that starving IS a euphoric feeling. She had had anorrexia some years previous. I suspect her 'euphoria' came from controlling her eating in defiance of her parents. This sad 50-something woman still hated her parents (it was never explained why) and thought Michael was doing the right thing because Terri must have hated her parents, too, so the parents must not win the lawsuit. Please, those who supported Michael's position, find out why people take the positions that they do, it's not always crystal clear what the actual motives are. Starving, when it's not your own choice, is very ugly and painful.
