Yes, it is a terrible and sad situation. I can't for the life of me understand how someone could withhold food and water from that poor woman. If she was being kept alive only due to modern technology, that would be a different argument. But IMO, Judge Greer and her "husband" gave her a death sentence using starvation and dehydration as a rope. That being said, I also understand the arguments on the other side of the issue, especially those who are concerned about Congress getting involved. But I cannot throw stones at either M. S. nor Terri's parents. I can only know what is reported and both sides of their own version of the "truth". Prayers for Terri....

I would say that sticking a feeding tube into someone stomach is modern technology.

Years ago she would have died on her own not being able to swallow.

I have read where a nurses aid and maybe even Terri's parents said she can swallow but I wonder if that is true.

Does anyone know how long her feeding tube has been there?

Was it placed there immediately following her collapse?
