In my opinion, given that this was NOT a case of euthanasia, the true conservative position would have been to honor the patient's wishes

Oh, give it a rest with your distortions and untruths. You have to know that there was no solid evidence that the patient wanted to be starved of all food and water, orally or otherwise.

No, I don't think that Terri specifically requested starvation. Is that your new standard?

Give me a break with your stupid strawmen.

The judge had "clear and convincing" evidence (a Florida requirement) that Terri would not want to live the way she was. That's solid enough for me.

Now, what are you suggesting that the judge do at this point? Seriously. What should he have done? Lethal injection? What?
