Removal of the feeding tube would not necessarily equal death, if bona fide efforts were made to feed Terri orally. I what portion of the people who support the feeding tube removal (1) realize that Michael would forbid any effort at oral feeding, and (2) would support the willful simuntaneous removal of all forms of feeding/hydration.

I knew that, but I did not make myself specific. George W. Greer will not permit any feeding or drinking by mouth, which means dehydration within a week. I am convinced that she can eat soft foods by mouth because she was doing so prior to the placement of the feeding tube. I wonder why Schiavo ordered the feeding tube inserted to begin with.
