The Proper way to handle this case is to make the patient comfortable, and put the food in front of her.
If she doesn't see the food, and eat it, and there is no hope that she will ever see the food or eat it, she should be allowed to die.
Society has no responsibility to maintain the organism when the "owner" has left it for good.
This is just another example of the philosophy "you do not own yourself" working its way along.
It is a dangerous mindset that will permit abuse if not curtailed.
As usual, the "public" has it backassward.

I'm glad you're not a caretaker for infants.

(Judge Greer---YOU should have looked into Terri's eyes and asked her if she wanted life.)

If someone does what you advocate doing with an infant,
our society says they should spend time in prison,
because they are seen as being cold, heartless bastards.
Hopefully, you are not seen as being one of those.
I guess you must also support euthanasia, as there are tens of thousands
of elderly people in nursing homes that depend on someone to feed them.
Come to think of it, maybe you really are a cold, heartless bastard.

She's not an "organism", SHE'S A PERSON!!!

Christopher Reeve would have died long ago, according to this mentality.

I just made a quick visit to several of the threads. There are pro-death disrupters on almost every thread, ready to fight.
At this point, it behooves us who are hoping that Terri lives to IGNORE THEM.
It's way past discussion time. IMO, they are persona non grata.
Their only goal at this point is to twist the knife slowly into the heart of every decent soul who mourns this sorry spectacle.
Why should we play into their sick and twisted game?
