This case goes beyond passively allowing someone to die, moving directly to active euthanasia or assisted-suicide or murder...take your pick.

This really is the crux of the matter, and I agree with you. I think the problem in this particular case is that Florida law defines a feeding tube as "life support." I would encourage all states to revisit this definition if they have it in a statute.

Yet at the time MS alleges that Terri said she "wouldn't want to live like that" Florida law did not include feeding tubes in the definition of artifical life support.
