[Servant of the 9]

because he could speak? so if in addition to being a quadraplegic, he had also lost his ability to speak, his wife could have stopped feeding him? is that your claim?

The law is very simple. Feeding can be stopped if qualified doctors testify to a court that the person is in a persistent vegitative state and the spouse wishes it.
The did so, at both trials.

The Judge ruled as he was required to.

That is the law and most Americans like it that way.

Your "most Americans who like it that way" (aka the pollz) have not heard about any but an artfully constrained set of facts about Terri. They do not know about the looniness of Felon. They do not know about the belatedness of the "recollections" of HINO and the family and its timing with respect to his collecting insurance. They do not know what he promised to do for Terri and then reneged on. They do not know about HINO's adultery.

In other words, they don't know Jack.
