"The reasoning was that she would choke to death. Now if the feeding tube was removed and she had been fed orally and then choked to death, where would that put us?"

AND WHAT IF SHE DIDN'T (choke to death)?

What if she had been able to swallow and live, proving that she didn't need "artificial" feeding and she is NOT in PVS?

Of course this would have demolished the entire falso foundation of the house of cards MS, Felos and Greer built. This could not be allowed to happen, that's why Greer wouldn't allow Terri to be fed by mouth.

Can you come up with any other explanation for Greer's decision to deny allowing her to be fed by mouth? Is it legal to deny food and nutrition, even by natural means to a person?

I'm not saying I agree with the reasoning behind such an order. I just wonder what you would think if she has been fed and then choked to death? Would that have then been killing her, knowing there had been medical differences of opinion on it?
