You've posed what you call a moral conundrum, but in fact it is nothing of the sort; you've mixed apples and Hemlock.

Please expand on this.

The court ordered that all water and all food be kept from Terri. The police arrested those who attempted to bring Terri water.

Is this not a death sentence?

If not, why not?

If it is a death sentence, why would it not be more humane to kill her more quickly?

Terri was not a criminal therefore a death sentence ought not have been handed down by the circuit court judge. The euthanasia movement will seek to do exactly what you're trying to do with this false dichotomy. Apples are lifegiving food; Hemlock is a deadly poison. Get it?
