Removal of the feeding tube would not necessarily equal death, if bona fide efforts were made to feed Terri orally.

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.

[TOUGH STOUGH]

Michael Schaivo ordered the feeding tube put into Terri, to insure that he would have a plug to pull!

Yes, but your statement was that people weren't putting 2 and 2 together. My point was that with any judge who was actually following the law, there'd be no need to put 2 and 2 together, because removal of the feeding tube (but resumption of oral feeding) would not equal death.

I wish someone would prosecute Michael, Felos, and Greer for attempted murder, given that (1) the last attempt to starve Terri was within the statute of limitations, and (2) there is no statutory basis for denial of oral food and hydration.
