Would you want to live like Terri? and Would you want to be slowly starved to death over 13 days, like Terri?
The first question is so ridiculous, for who would ever answer 'YES'?
The second question, for any thinking person, is "NO".

The second question is so incomplete as to be misleading.

It really should ask;
Would you want to be KEPT in a horrible helpless and hopeless state of existance, from which you could NEVER recover, for years on end and slowly die over God knows how long a period of time..connected to a feeding tube......OR be able to reduce it to 13 days in a morphine induced state of comfort?

The fact is many people who make such decisions in their living wills DO NOT want to be kept alive in such a state of existance for years on end.

YOU don't know what Terri would have wanted.
The courts simply found that her husband expressed her wishes for such a situation.

Then there should be a 3rd question; "who kept her in a horrible, helpless and hopeless state of existence, with no light, no music, no therapy, no contact with others, no removal to the outside in a wheelchair, no MRI tests, no PET scans, no speech therapy?
