I would agree with you if Fred had been asked about extraordinary measures like a respirator. Instead, he was asked about the Schievo case where Judge Greer decreed that Terri would be denied food and water untill she died - which took 14 days. What Fred did in his daughters situation was probably completely appropriate. However, I disagree strong with his conclusion that he would not have gotten involved in the Schievo case to protect Terri from her judicial murderers.

Fred kept it simple answer simple and straight to the point. When the TS incident was going on, my wife looked me in the eyes and said “don’t ever let something like that happen to me. I do not want to be kept alive for an indefinite amount of time.” I told her the same thing. Almost 3 years have passed and neither of us have prepared a living will. If something does happen before we get our wills made, I will still fight for her right to die with dignity, and I expect her to do the same for me.
