Florida law does not consider this to be committing suicide.

The problem here is that people want to discuss legal issues without using standard legal terms.

Take for example the argument that the feeding tube is not considered life support, but without it, Terri will die.

The problem here is that the judge made a decision without using standard legal terms. There is a definition of PVS in the Florida Estatutes that he disregarded; instead he took it from one of the doctors appointed by Michael Schiavo.
