Let's say she did tell her husband this and did not want a feeding tube. Where does this judge come off though also saying she cannot have anything by mouth. Did she also say "don't feed me"? "Starve me to death". He has gone past living wills and has decided to have her euthanized.

The thing that gets me is that when Terri made these "alleged" (said very dubiously) comments to her husband and inlaws about not wanting to "live like that," it was ILLEGAL to withhold food and water as they were not considered life saving measures but rather basic care. The law has since changed, but somehow, Greer sees no problem whatsoever with applying the new statute retroactively to Terri.

So true! This is why I am hopeful that the Fed court will step up to the plate. To not even allow her to TRY to eat by mouth is a blatant violation of her constitutional rights. How anyone can see this as anything less than state-sanctioned murder is incomprehensible!

(Why is it illegal to starve an animal but not a human being?)
