"..........charges against those guilty of killing Terri."

You didn't ask me, but.....it seems to me the fact that this Judge, in determining that she would not want to be kept alive artificially, not only ordered a feeding tube removed, but also ORDERED that she not be allowed food or liquid naturally (by mouth) is the key. It;s one thing to pull the plug on life support, but another to deny an innocent human being food and water by mouth and mandate that person to die!

Wonder if this is a tipping point. Does the law allowing their actions skirt the attempt to feed her by mouth and allow sipping of water? Without trying that, would seem this is the same action that a parent who starved a child would be tried for murder for.

Could this be a point for action by Jeb?
