"His will isn't to help starve and dehydrate others to death."

Ok...with her feeding tube removed, why can't a medical professional attempt to give her water by mouth? It is my understanding that she manages her saliva, so could she at least die without a dry mouth?

If one is removed from a respirator, oxygen is present for the patient to take, if able. Can someone explain to me why Terri can't be offered nourishment by mouth by someone familiar with patients who don't swallow as easily as you or I might? My MIL had ALS and lost her ability to swallow food and needed suction to manage saliva and during that I did learn there are processes to feeding people with differet swallowing problems.

Judge Greer has ruled that she may not be hydrated by mouth.......not even ice chips.

We are dealing with evil here.

As others have posted-Judge Greer apparently prohibited this years ago.
Feed or give Terri a sip of water-face charges.
Which is beyond mind boggling .
And I guarantee you-no one in the MSM has explained this very disturbing fact to their viewers and readers.
Terri's nurses have previously fed her liquids and soft foods, but, had to stop- by law.
This is true starvation by judicial edict.
I don't know my country , anymore.
