Starvation of a helpless human being is the ugly truth of what happened in Florida. They put people in jail here for doing that to dogs.
Why didn't any of the protesters ever work to get Florida law changed so a feeding tube wasn't considered "life support" by default?
That's life support just like a baby's bottle or me feeding my blind and addled father in law.
No, medically it isn't the same. A baby can swallow. Your blind and addled father-in-law could swallow. Terri Schiavo had lost half her brain tissue, along with the basic reflexes that allow people to swallow properly. She had swallowing tests and failed them.
