Michael Schaivo's lawyer keeps saying Terri said, "no tubes for me". Well, that doesn't mean to keep food out of her mouth. If her parents want to feed her pudding, jello, etc. and it works, then to deprive her of that is beyond her wishes. The judge is ordering something she never requested. No tubes, not no food!!!

Wouldn't the simplest way to determine Terri's true wishes be to offer her food orally. If she makes an attempt to accept the food that would certainly be an indication that she doesn't wish to starve, would it not?

Terri was in her TWENTIES when she allegedly said this. People in their 20s simply do not talk about being mindless and being on life support. (Furthermore, contrary to much of the press coverage, there is evidence to support that she is both thinking and functioning.)

I think the husband and his lawyer are lying. And the husband has three reasons at home and a few hundred thousand reasons in the bank, why he would lie about Terri.

Krauthammer, as usual, cuts through the thicket and nails the subject.
