You have stated that they expressed the desire that water be withheld. That is one whale of a lie!!!!!! My living will states that hydration will be maintained, if someones living will states to withhold hydration they are wishing for torture.

I did not state anything about what your living will expressed. I stated that Terri had expressed a wish not to be kept alive in the situation that her body now finds itself.

I agree that it would be better for the law to be changed to allow an injection to be given in such circumstances. I doubt that Terri is suffering 'torture' as the brain areas that allow the perception of sensations are no longer present. If she does somehow retain some consciousness, however, it is even more imperitive that she be allowed to die as she wished, and would be unbearably inhumane to keep her alive and suffering against her expressed wishes.
