I didn't have time to read all of the posts, so sorry if this is repetitive. I heard that Terri's doctor said she can eat on her own without the feeding tube. If this is the case and food is being withheld, we have a BIG problem.
Terri's doctor has not said that.
Doctors have stated that Terri is swallowing between 1 and 1 1/2 liters of saliva a day. She can swallow.
So yes, I would say we do have a big problem. One thing to take out the feeding tube, quite another to not allow medical personnel or her family to even offer her food or water by mouth.
Judge Greer issued an order that once her tube is removed, "I don't want anyone trying to feed that girl!"
By his judicial decree, not only is the tube removed, but no liquid or food is to be brought near her lips. That is akin to removing someone from a respirator after surgery and pinching the nose closed and covering the mouth just to make sure they won't breathe on their own. Despicable just isn't a strong enough word to describe this man.
