Any idea what "spontaneous vital function" "artificially provided sustenance and hydration" "supplants"?

Respiration, technically. I think. The process whereby the body converts fuel for running biological processes.

Funny you point out changing the law. Just remove the words "including artificially provided sustenance and hydration" from 10, and express further that life-prolonging procedure does NOT mean including artificially provided sustenance and hydration.

The law was changed to INCLUDE artificially provided sustenance and hydration within the definition of Life-prolonging procedure, with lobbying by Felos, after Terri collapsed.

The above does not refer to respiration though, does it? This addition defines eating and drinking as a spontaneous vital function.

Ouch. So all the FL lawmakers who are trying to save Terri gave MS the ability to have her killed in the first place? Actually, they didn't try to save her, did they. If so, Greer is carrying out the explicit will of the legislature by killing Terri. Why have we not heard this in the press?
