Oh, yes - of COURSE she was "expected" to only live 2 weeks - that IS the window for one starved/hydrated to death.
But she was not terminal if she continued to be be given food and water - she was, except for brain damage (NOT PVS!) healthy and had a life expectancy of another 40+ years - which is EXACTLY why michael was able to get such a large settlement in "order to pay for her prolonged therapy."
got a clue yet?
Back in 2000, there was no court order prohibiting food and water by mouth. But they didn't do it. Why not?
I'm going to take a WAG and say SHE COULDN'T SWALLOW, THAT'S WHY.
