Doctors approve of this method in extreme cases like Terri’s and it doesn’t take a doctor to see the huge black space! You think this is a big conspiracy or something?

OK, so you must know more than many doctors who disagree?
Such as this one?

“Doctors approve of this method in extreme cases like Terri’s “

There are doctors who approve of late term abortions and even infanticide.
Your point?

“it doesn’t take a doctor to see the huge black space! “

Tell me what you see, why you think it deserves your characterization of “mush”, and why you think it justifies dehydrating someone to death.

“You think this is a big conspiracy or something?”

I think it is a matter of getting rid of people who have become inconvenient.
A utilitarian view of human life.

PVS is misdiagnosed 40-45% of the time.
It is a subjective diagnosis that experts themselves cannot agree on criteria.
Recent developments show the experts know less about the brain than previously thought.
Studies using functional MRIs indicate more brain activity than previously thought.

There are many who want to assume they know everything in order to justify exterminating the helpless.

Please point out the passage that suggests that it is acceptable to deny a person food and water:

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.
