There seems to be a difference in this [Terri's] case. Terri is NOT on a respirator, when Quinnlin survived for 10 years it certainly was NOT without FOOD and Water. Kuzan parents wanted her to die so eventually they were allowed to pull the feeding tube, the COURT DID NOT MANDATE it.

Terri's parents WANT to keep her alive and receive therapy. The COURT has MANDATED that FOOD AND WATER be withheld based on a NOVEL idea that MEDICAL TREATMENT includes Food and Water.

I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination but the Schaivo FACTS do not compare to the FACTS in the other cases.

The court hasn't mandated it in this case either. It has complied with the wishes of Ms. Schiavo's husband/guardian. The main difference between Cruzan and Schiavo is the dispute between the relatives in the latter case.
