"If she could sip or chew all her parents had to do was feed her and offer her a drink on camera"
That would be nice except that her "husband" has banned her parents from taking video camera's into her room when they are allowed to visit.
That is wrong! There are over 4 hours of tape made by the parents to show to the court when this went to trail - there is new tape as we speak that is serving as teh basis for the appeal - the one where the parents claim she says "I want to live".
IIRC, she could eat a few years ago, her nurses used to sneak food to her. But, the husband found out and put a stop to it and may have had a nurse fired over it.
I could be wrong though.
