One thing that has tugged at my mind since the beginning of this. Pulling the feeding tube is one thing. But to deny the ability of someone (family in this case) from giving her food or liquid by mouth. That in no way can be considered extraordinary. I can't imagine how that can be reconciled with the law, any law.

mine too. when we disconnect a ventilator we don't then cover the person's nose and mouth -- if they can breath on their own so be it
why can't they attempt to feed Terri by mouth...how is it that mouth feeding is not allowed?!

What you just said is what makes this case go from "right to die" to "murder" in 2.7 seconds.
