So if a person signs a living will, says he/she does not want tubes, oxygen, etc. The tube is removed, oxygen is removed, the woman sits up in the hospital bed and says "I'm hungry"

Should food be brought to her?

Yes. I guess I don't really understand your question because it doesn't seem to apply to the current case.

No, it's doesn't apply in Terri's case. You said everyone should have a living will and I was thinking of another case where someone had a feeding tube, the feeding tube was removed, the woman couldn't get out of bed but she did sit up and asked for food. She was still denied food and died shortly afterwards. I was wondering what your feelings on that would be.
