It has already been OVER three days for Terri without food and water. A human body can only take so much -- you can go without food much longer, but not without hydration, before going past the point of no return.
It was a miracle, that last time Terri actually recovered after her feeding tube was out for six days.
But after three days, some terrible symptoms are appearing, I am sure -- just do a search on death and dehydration.
I remember the Rule of 4 for survival
4 minutes : oxygen requirement
4 hours : shelter requirement (hypothermia)
4 days : water
4 weeks : food
Go longer than that without the item listed and you are probably going to die.
The dehydration worries me quite a bit. That is extreme cruelty. I cannot believe we are even dispassionately discussing such a thing. And, now, with the judge delaying the decision, it shows how little realization he has that a life hangs in the balance.
I am praying, along with ohioWfan and others, that God can provide her with heavenly living waters to saturate her body and bring her through this latest callous crisis. What do you think makes her so strong?
How is a man to be believed, who does not have the HONOR to divorce his wife when he has broken the marriage vows. Yet this is the type of person given credibility by the judiciary.
