According to nurses, she had swallowed Jello in the past.

She swallows her own saliva now (or did until she got so dried up she didn't secrete any more), so any comparable flow of liquified food would go down just as well.

Even more importantly, there are therapies available NOW which can teach a non swallower to swallow again. It involves stimulation of the swallowing muscles.

Be that as the case may be - the nurse's testimony was never presented to court (it has now in this latest appeal) maybe I should be thanked for offering up the suggestion - I was first on here saying that if she can indeed chew and swallow this is outright murder and she is not in a PVS (I don't consider removing life support from PVS murder, etc - feeling that the brain is where the soul t is a form of partial brian death - a position held by the State of Florida, Texas, the Supreme Court and most states in the Union - if not all of them).

But the courts have found based on testimony not only from the husband's doctor but that of court appointed medical teams (sadly many think that Greer only relied on the husband's doctor - he did not) that she is indeed in a PVS which can not be reversed.

What I object to is people saying that she can as of right now (just before the tube was pulled) swallow and chew food. That is a falsehood.
