re: The story that she can be given food or water by mouth is another false hood arising from this case.

Didn't the husband say that no one could give her ANYHING by mouth and the judge issued an order to that effect? I honestly thought this was the case. It would be sad to find out that all this time the family could simply have fed her and given her water but no one thought of that. In fact, her guardian (and that's the right term in this case) suggested a 'swallowing test' and after both sides had agreed and scheduled it the husband's side backed out for fear agreeing to it would jeopardize a suit they had pending that challenged the constitutionality of the law.
