Pro-euthanasia of elderly alzheimer patients is a huge step from not keeping a feeding tube in a comatose patient.
The issue with Terri Shiavo is not the removal of the tube. It is that no one would attempt to use therapy to teach her to eat on her own.
It is possible that behind the incapacity she has she might be aware of her surroundings. She would not be the first incapacitated patient for whom that is true.

You are correct. It is abuse of the disabled.

You're not comparing Terri with Helen Keller, are you?
BTW, I'm on the "keep Terri alive, abortion is murder" side.
