If the removal of the tube is based upon the assumption of her wishes, YES. Because THAT is NOT starvation.

Thank you.

Now that I understand where you're coming from, I know it's a waste of time posting with you. We are completely on opposite sides. I say that with respect for your opinion, even though it sickens me.

It is starvation in Terri's case, because as evidenced by the court documents she could eat and drink, but, the judge, as ordered by the husband, refused to allow anyone to give Terri food or water.
Although her nurses did sneak her soft food and water behind the judge's back.
Judge Greer ordered the feeding tube removed and then effectively ordered Terri's mouth taped shut.
Her lawyers said that anyone caught trying to give her food or water would be arrested.
I don't know how this could be defined as anything other than forced starvation.
