So, in what way would it have been "medical evaluation" or "experimental" for Terri to have ice chips and sips of water? Was the risk of aspiration a reason to deny her these comforts in her last 2 weeks?

Terri passed the test of time. Regardless of any test, she continued to swallow her saliva - thin water, more difficult than thickened liquids to swallow without aspiration.

Why deny her mother the ability to give her a spoonful water in her last 2 weeks? Why the legal fiction that offering oral hydration was "experimental"?
