"She is not dependent on advanced medical interventions. Nothing is mechanically pumping her blood, or forcing oxygen into her lungs. She is simply being fed through a gastrostomy tube."

And I don't see how a feeding tube is such a big deal. They can be dealt with at home relatively easily. My Cousin-in-law had two babies fed by tube at home until they were about three. And she had 5 other children the same age. She managed it.

The judge who ordered the tube removed should be impeached.

This was Terri's parent's point. They were willing to take her home with them and continue her care, but her husband didn't want that. He wanted her dead, cause he said she told him that she wouldn't want to be kept alive by extraordinary means. Well, feeding someone is not extraordinary!
