Some people think Terri is just a bad symbol for the right to life since she was only kept alive by extraordinary means. The people you want to convince will only be convinced you're keep away at all costs fanatics.
That's keep away at all costs fanatics.
When society reaches a point that food and water constitute extraordinary means for keeping a person alive we are all screwed!
Anyone who thinks water and food are "extraordinary means" is intellectually dishonest and should be sent to his room without supper.
I guess we have a different opinion of what extraordinary means are. I don't consider feeding someone through a tube to be extraordinary means. I am up at the nursing home almost everyday to visit my grandmother and see several people who are fed through a tube for whatever reasons. I could not imagine sticking them in a corner and waiting for them to starve to death. And thank God for them, they don't have any family members out to kill them.
