[Ethrane]

OK, like I said, if a feeding tube is 'life-support' treatment....why has the judge forbade anyone from even attempting to try and feed her orally?

Also, having watched the proceedings on the house floor from start to finish, I can tell you that most of the situations offered as comparisons are not that at all.

Last I checked, euthanasia was not legal on a federal level and it is not legal in FL.

Prohibiting ANY attempt at feeding this poor woman will produce certain death and is therefore euthanasia.

That's a good question. Do we know for a FACT that the judge forbade this in his decision? I'll admit I haven't read the complete decision.

Terri's tube was put in before she even left the first hospital -

She could not swallow then, nor could she pass the yearly swallow tests done on her in those first three critical years when she was having rigorous therapy.

This is why no one has fed her orally. She can't do it.
