KING: Could anyone in that room feed her, spoon feed her?
SCHIAVO: No, they cannot.
KING: Because she can't swallow?
No, because THE COURT EXPLICITY FORBADE ANYONE FROM FEEDING HER. Think of it: we have a court order barring people from giving food and water to a starving woman. Ghoulish.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: if these people are so gosh-darned sure that Terri is already dead, what is the harm in feeding her? Why should they care if someone wants to put food into what they consider to be a corpse?
It's probably been said before but I believe Michael Schiavo sees a lot of "potential" harm to HIM if Terri is fed and one day reaches a point where she can tell what really happened to her.
