If we start killing everyone who has a feeding tube, a good many people will die just as needlessly as Terri. One of my dear uncles lived with one for years, and continued to live an otherwise good life until a fall finally ended it.
It's utterly disgusting that some people seem to anxious to end a life simply because someone has a feeding tube. It would be no different than killing someone because they wear glasses. Both help or even fix a disability.
well, the feeding tube itself isn't really the issue. The question is whether she is in a permanent vegetative state, i.e. whether she has any chance for recovery.
