This is not euthanasia. Euthanasia, which I support when it is clearly the wish of the subject or when the subject is clearly unable to sense anything, involves ending someone's life quickly and painlessly. Starving and dehydrating someone over the course of 1-2 weeks is as abusive to a person who wants to die, as it is to a person who doesn't.

Of course, this is euthanasia. It is putting a person to death for reasons determined by man: convenience, medical costs, rationed care, patient's wishes, etc. Whether it is called a "natural process" or not is irrelevant. It still results in death, as desired in this case by the guardian and the State of FL.

Were the feeding tube still in Terri, she would still be surviving.
