This case does set a very important medical precedent. The ruling ignores the fact that she does not rely on life support and is simply provided basic nutrients.

In the same context one must recognize life circumstances of the Alzheimer patients. Is there a point where memory loss, disorientation, loss of language skills... negates further drug therapy let alone nutrition? Be serious, how long is one supposed to put up with one of these decrepit old wrinkled zombies? They probably don't recognize the difference between night and day. What does the decision do to prevent further abortions?

Living people are making judgments to murder others who are alive, it again reverts back to convenience.

"The ruling ignores the fact that she does not rely on life support and is simply provided basic nutrients."

I see that as legal precedent and I agree with you.

Extraordinary means is one thing, but denying people food and water is quite another.
