>>Also, I have problems with the inherent premise that the government owes a supply of food and water to every person in the United States, and further believe that mindset to be a slippery slope and subject to gross abuse. But I think that's a question of semantics.<<

There was a substantial amount of money set aside to provide this particular US citizen's basic needs (f & w). Anyway, what on earth do you think food stamps are for? Are you saying her parents would not happily pay for any food she may eat? Think again.

>>It requires surgery to administer the portal for the food and water in the case of a non-responsive patient. The very definition of "medical treatment."<<

The court has forbidden everyone concerned with this woman to even feed her a spoonful of Jello. What the heck are they worried about? She might choke and die < /sarcasm>?

No surgery involved with that simple act of human kindness.

I don't care if Bill Gates steps forward and promises to pay the freight for the poor woman for the rest of her life. At what point do you finally say "enough" and grant her release from her hell on earth? The state of Florida has laws that answer that question, and as far as I can see, they have been applied as fairly and even-handedly as is possible under the circumstances.

Uhhh, "food stamps" are government benefits.

Being non-responsive, she could very well aspirate a spoonful of Jello and die of pneumonia. If you were the one attempting to feed her a spoonful of Jello, would you be willing to step forward and be brought up on charges if you killed her in such a way?

I'll ask again - at what point do you finally say "enough" and grant her release from her hell on earth?
