Well yeah, though as you posted the ban doesn't apply to STARVING A PATIENT TO DEATH.

[Pegita]

Terri is in a hospice setting, neither terminally-ill nor expected to die within six months. To starve her to death is murder, pure and simple. Federal funds are Medicaid funds .. and Federal funds cannot be used for assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing. End of life considerations do not apply here ~ Terri's brain-injured and not terminal.
