What about straws and baby bottles? What about elderly who have to be spoonfed?

BTW, your opinion that feeding tubes are equivalent to ventilators is a feeble, fact-free opinion.

What you should be doing is questioning yourself as to why you are so anxious to allow disabled people to be starved/dehydrated to death.

You are mistaken. You compare feeding tubes to bottles and spoon feeding. You're leaving out an important element. People who are fed by bottles or a spoon are able to swallow because they have higher brain function. Terri's body exists because her brain stem wasn't destroyed. Only her body exists. What made her Terri has been dead for 15 years.
