No one can convince me that Terri ever specified a feeding tube removal procedure. The chance of her thinking of a feeding tube are nil. She thought of the respirator type of artificial life support if she thought of artificial life support. The feeding tube is not artificial life support. A blood transfusion is not artificial life support. What is the difference between a blood transfusion and a feeding tube? If in her brain damaging injury she also lost blood, would that blood transfusion be denied on the grounds that it was artificial life support? Now, let's step back and ask, would you intentionally tell someone if you were in an incapacitated state, that you would like to be dehydrated to death? Not one of us wants to go painlessly. This would be a painful death even with the use of morphine. Actually, if morphine were necessary to relieve the pain, it would be the morphine that would kill before the dehydration.

What people are actually looking for is the use of morphine as the method to end life--not dehydration.

That would be legalized murder. The Left is taking the slow, painful way to Terri's end because they don't have the guts to admit they ARE for euthanasia. She might have expired already if it were not for liberal cowardice in matters of death.

I told someone tonight while we were discussing this that once my cerebral cortex had atrophied and therefore no possibility existed for me to ever be "me" again, that I would definitely want the tube pulled beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Very good point!
