That is a wonderful statement. All people are made in the image of God, and all people are worthy of life and care.
Food and water are ordinary means; not extraordinary means.
“NOT a painless death: (1) Depriving food and water from profoundly cognitively disabled persons like Terri who are not otherwise dying, a process that causes death by dehydration over a period of 10-14 days. As I will illustrate below, this may cause great suffering.”

A counselor by phone used tough love and told Terri to stand up because there are some people that want to kill her. Terri tried desperately to stand up! The fact that Terri survived several starvation attempts (removal of her feeding tube), and untreated infections (Michael would not allow her antibiotics, because he wanted her to die) also shows her will to live.
