Of course, her parents would claim that Terri had to be "killed" with morphine, because the removal of artificial feeding was not enough.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you mean that Terri's parents want her killed? That's a ludicrous position if indeed that's what you're saying.

In 2003, when her parents were concerned about the morphine drip, they were concerned that she might die from the morphine. Their concern wasn't that she was going to "die sooner", their concern was that she was going to die, period! Morphine can kill on its own, as I'm sure you're aware.

So to say: 1. Terri's parents would ask that morphine would be given, is rediculous. 2. That Terri's parents don't want morphine given, because that might kill her quicker, that's true I'm sure. But it's not like her parents want to deny morphine to her, so that she will suffer more, it's that they simply don't want to see her die!

That is quite a reach.

No morphine, no water, no food, no dying.

Thank you for clearing that up.

No morphine, no food, no water doesn't necessarily mean no dying.

Maybe I misunderstood your point.

By denying morphine to Terri, are you saying that Terri's parents want her to die more slowly?

By denying morphine to Terri, are you saying that Terri's parents want her to die painfully?
