The court ordered the removal of all nutrition and hydration from Terri Schindler, which meant NOTHING by MOUTH. The order never mentioned the feeding tube.

I wonder if that fact has set precedent for not allowing a person to have food and water, who doesn't even have a feeding tube and can still eat by mouth. Interesting.
The progression of what is medical care has fallen over the clift. Actually even that has been happening for years under the cover of darkness. A friend of mine's grandma was dehydrated to death in the 70's by her doctor.
She begged for water, food and even ice chips, but the doctor had told the family it was not allowed. It took her about 10 days to die and it was NOT her choice. My friend can't believe her mom and aunt listened to the doctor and agreed with his orders. I asked what was put on the death certificate, thinking it would be something medical.
It was DEHYDRATION. Needless to say, I was shocked. I hope people have woken up to the fact that doctors are not gods and they should not be obeyed, like they are.
