Since when is food and water "extraordinary life saving measures?"

They aren't.
However the Supreme Court has decided that every individual has the constitutional right to control his or her own medical treatment, including being sustained by a feeding tube in a PVS.

And the Supreme Court committed a barbaric act to deny this woman's right to life. It is an atrocity and an outrage...the handiwork of barbarians.

Don't try to wrap the bloody dagger of death to an innocent in the U.S. constitution.

She was murdered...slowly and painfully by judges who should be jailed for it.

It is wickedness.

I don't think anyone argues that. Just most of us don't believe for a minute that is what Terri ever told her lying, cheating husband. That is the issue. If a person doesn't have definite (either in writing or told to their family) wishes for end-of-life care, then we must assume the person would have wanted life-sustaining treatment. You know Terri's only "life support" was a feeding tube. To argue she was being artificially kept alive is disingenuous or ignorant of the facts.
