What was ordered was the honoring of Teri's wish to not be artificially maintained. That wish was testified to, under oath, by 3 people (see the court records).
When an abomination occurs in the country, the brave and the free don't just stand there mesmerized bowing to abstract legal principles -- they attack the abomination.
Yes, there was an abomination. When someone expresses the desire to NOT be artificially maintained and that wish is ignored for 15 YEARS, that is indeed an abomination. Try imagining what it would be like to be encased in a glass coffin, unable to move on your own, dependent upon others to perform all of your basic hygiene requirements, etc. for 15 years. There are not many tortures more gruesome than that.
Nutrition was not "artificial maintenance" when she allegedly made the statements. You can't morph the law defining that term, read it into a prior statement, and call it justice.
She was in various states of consciousness over those "15 years" including a few moments of perfect lucidity when she could have asked to end it all but didn't.
