Shutting off a life-support system is one thing, but a feeding tube is quite another.

No, actually, it is not. Ventilator support and tube feedings are both examples life sustaining treatment. They fall in the same category, and they can each be legally and ethically withheld under the appropriate circumstances.

[Theodore R.]

Shutting off life support normally ends the life in three days; removing a food tube takes perhaps 40 days to die! The person who has life support shut off is unaware of what has happened. The one being starved to death is facing "curel and unusual punishment" in the name of liberalism and life insurance.

Is it possible that Terri can be spoon fed after the evil judge orders her death?

And how much is this life insurance? Has anyone tried to pay off Michael? The reporters on this story leave so many unanswered questions.

I take it you advocate death by starvation? Why not just blow the woman's brains out. Surely that would be more humane than starvation. We don't want the death people for violent criminals but hey lets kill the helpless instead. What is this marxist ideology? Just friggin curious?
