Maybe the "blogs" are going crazy, because
the entire case is crazy and everyone is avoiding
the most important social and human issue here!

It's not just Terri! Patients around the country

Word to the Wise!

Even if someone takes the time to get a Living Will, and
specify "no feeding tube,"

**Is the logical next step starvation and dehydration?**

I think we're assuming the people who sign Living Wills are choosing to have a slow death.

A living will should include not only what you don't want to happen, but ALSO what you DO want to happen to you!

****
__ Check here if you want to be left in a room for 7 -12 days, dehydrated, pickled, starved, until you die.

It should be spelled out because like most legal documents its the fine print that "kills" you.
