I agree that Greer's order to deny her food and water via the mouth is a grossly illegal directive. However, she needs to be removed from the hospice run by euthanasia advocates, and placed in a hospital. Only then can the proper medical ethics be applied.
I keep wondering this morning if it wouldn't be possible for a judge to order that Terri be given a chance to swallow small amounts of water and liquid food.
To deprive her of that basic right is worse, in my present thinking, than removing the feeding tube. The possibility that her swallowing ability may have atrophied because of the feeding tube is appalling, and the true crime here.
But, shouldn't she should be given the opportunity to try to survive on her own, no matter how time-consuming? I would think she still has the ability to suck on something...
