No Jorge there are many people that are permanently paralyzed and can not feed themselves and need to be fed this way forever till they die.

Are they all in a permanent vegetative state?

Go back and read my post again.
We're not arguing over a simple case of paralysis.

First of all not all doctors agree that Terri is in a permanant vegitave state. Many people being fed by tubes are blind, mute and bedridden. If you are blind you can not see, if you are mute you can not talk and if you are paralyzed you can not move. Many people are all three. So how would you know what the state of their mind is since they can not in any way connect with you. This is the case of many people with the same disease as Larenzo. What is it about Terri that is different? I will tell you. She can see, she can hear and she reacts to the spoken word. Look at the videoes of her. I contend that she is much more interactive than a lot of people in her condition. What is going on in Florida is a capitol offense and it is against the law of man. Maybe you forgot this, "Thou shalt not kill".
