re: This Judge has denied the parent's motion to give Terri food and water by mouth! Exactly what "artificial creation of man" is that -- a spoon? )))

Nicely put. One thing that I noticed with real bitterness throughout the whole Terri disaster was the willful confusion of a feeding tube with a ventilator-- one is very easy to manage in the home or hospice setting, the latter an invasive and terrifying "heroic" technology.

What seems to be the problem is the definition of death, I believe when you can not think you are dead. I worship people like Hunter Thompson and Earnest Hemingway who took their own lives. The majority of this country would be on some type of modern device for eternity if they could afford it. Get it on with the end when its time.!
