Are the families that don't insist on feeding tubes murdering their lived ones

Your background is not accurate, and the answer is yes.

Most die from pneumonia. By the time the feeding tubes go in they are in a very weakened state already.

The analogy to Terri Schindler is weak. Very different circumstances.

Still, the issue is do we face up that we commit euthanasia or not?

If so, just do a lethal injection.

I agree that there are differences to the Schiavo. However, not providing a feeding tube to Alzheimer's victims is not considered killing someone. If it was, wouldn't it still be murder even if the person had a DNR?
