CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST THE LINK TO GREER's RULING TO STARVE AND DEHYDRATE TERRY TO DEATH?
I had the link to the ruling, and it said that he was ordering that no nutrition or hydration to be given to Terri. Period.
He could have phrased it, to order the removal of the tube and ordered no feeding through the tube, but he specifically ordered no nutrition or hydration.
Here you go.

The term does not include the administration of medication or performance of medical procedure, when such medication or procedure is deemed necessary to provide comfort care or to alleviate pain.
