"most respondents were not following the case and mis-characterize her as being on life support (she was not)."

Artificial feeding falls within the medical definition of life support.

You may not agree with it, but it is incorrect to say that it is a mis-characterisation of the situation.

Actually, in the poll, people understood "life support" to mean being supported through means such as a ventilator and other such support. Technical definitions aside, it remains a mis-characterization for laymen.
