"One wonders why morphine was administered to a sub-human vegetable."

Because the extreme right to life fanatics like you insisted that morphine be injected into a "vegetable". The judge conceded, figuring it would do no harm.

I'm sure he regrets it after reading comments like yours that suggests he did it because Terri could feel pain.

"Food and water is not medical care."

That is correct.

But when delivered by medical staff, on doctor's orders, through an artificial, surgically implanted feeding tube, however, it becomes medical care.

You are completely wrong. "Death, Esquire" Felos himself bragged about giving morphine to ease pain. This despite his client's claim that Terri could feel nothing.
I know it's hard to keep their lies straight, but do try.

A tube. A plastic spoon. A soda straw. What's the difference? The feeding port could have been maintained by and Terri fed by the Schindlers in their home. That's not medical care, not lifesaving, heroic medical care, requiring a medical professional.

Number one, prove that. Show me where the "extreme right to life fanatics" convinced the judge to order the morphine.

Second, what are your views on abortion?
