Why would anyone assume, much less state as fact, that Terri could handle oral hydration and nutrition 12 years after (ineffective) swallow therapy was discontinued?

Clearly, you do not have experience in medical care. Further, you do not agree with Wolfson's report.

What outcome did you fear from attempts to provide oral hydration to Mrs. Schiavo?

"Clearly, you do not have experience in medical care."

As you have none in the Terri Schiavo case. But others did, and I'm relying on their testimony.

"Further, you do not agree with Wolfson's report."

I agree with the conclusion. To wit:

" The GAL concludes from the medical records and consultations with medical experts that the scope and weight of the medical information within the file concerning Theresa Schiavo consists of competent, well documented information that she is in a persistent vegetative state with no likelihood of improvement, and that the neurological and speech pathology evidence in the file support the contention that she cannot take oral nutrition or hydration and cannot consciously interact with her environment."

Death by drowning. What did you believe would be accomplished?
