Unnatural means? What would those be? Food and water - wow, that's really unnatural.

Unless there is a new kind of human being we take food and water in by mouth, not by a tube in the gut!

If she didn't want to be fed and didn't want to live in her condition, why, when offered food and water orally, did she accept it?

You do know there are nurses who have made sworn statements that they have fed Terri by mouth and that she swallowed it, don't you?

So if this is the case what is the problem with removing the feeding tube???

If you have to ask me this question, then you are stupendously uninformed about all the facts, in which case I respectfully suggest you inform yourself a little better before you make a bigger fool out of yourself.

Why do you think people are getting arrested outside the hospice who are trying to get in to give her WATER? Judge Greer has ruled that not only should the feeding tube be removed, but that NO ONE is allowed to attempt to feed her orally, and she was not allowed to have therapy to teach her to swallow effectively.
