Yes. You can refuse to eat, drink or take medications.

Agreed. So you agree that Greer's order was judicial activism and an expansion of judicial power (since he ordered that Terri Schiavo not even be given the oportunity to eat or drink orally)? Or do you assert that a state court has the authority to restrict you from any oral ingestion of food and water?

False dilemma.

The state court never restricted oral ingestion of food and water, had Mrs. Schiavo requested it. But it couldn't be forced upon her...put into her mouth without her request.
