"Let's keep this simple."
Fine, just as long as it is the parents that try to feed her the food. Of course, they will probably kill her doing so. But if they want to try, it's their business. No objections here to handfeeding her; just know what the consequences will undoubtedly be, as per doctors' opinions. But of course you know better than they do.
We agree here.
But of course you know better than they do.
I *do* know that if Terri died as a result of being fed orally by the Schindlers, it would not be as a result of euthanasia, because their sole purpose in feeding her would be to sustain her life.
I also know that it would be far more merciful for Terri to die by feeding, because it would be quick. It is a cruel and inhuman abuse to let a person dry out for a period of up to two weeks.
