We would all feel very different about this if it was a respirator and Terri was in a 16 year coma. Breathing is an involuntary action and in that case you just hit the OFF switch and it's over. Starving someone to death is completely different.
Agreed. One of the most troubling aspects of this has been the intellectual dishonesty and purposeful obsfuscation meant to make it seem as if Terri Schinlder's situation is equivalent to what you describe.
