Personally, I've been in a similar position. The family should have the right to pull the plug.

The family should have the right to pull the plug. The Family, yes... the estranged, shacked up, alleged cause of current condition husband-in-name-only, no.

There is no plug to pull. This is why we are having this problem now. You people who equate a feeding tube with life support have selective hearing.

I too, have been in a similar position. One family member who needed a feeding tube for a few months after surgery and another who died in a true coma, on oxygen only who when on his own, no feeding tube but we knew he wasn't coming back. He was not alive or alert like Terri has been.

Life support and humane feeding are two separate issues.
The woman is not on life support, it is quite clear that her husband and his attorneys do not have her best interests at heart.
Refusing to feed a patient and condeming them to death by starvation over a period of two weeks is a disgracefully diabolically disgusting plan.
why don't you try to go thirsty for a couple days to see how humane the thought is?
Life is sacred, in America today life is disposable.
