Assuming she asked not to be kept alive, did she know she would be starved and dehydrated into an awful death.

Are you seriously asking about what she knew in a hypothetical question? Well, then yes, let's assume, she knew what extraordinary efforts meant, and that definition includes forced feeding.

"Forced feeding"?

My, aren't we rather free with the language tonight, Mr. Orwell.

BTW, in addition to her food tube NOT being "forced feeding", it was ILLEGAL to withdraw it at the time she "allegedly" made that statement.

In other words, even IF she said "No tubes for me!", she could NOT have been speaking about a FOOD tube, because that was simply not done, period.

Regardless, the fact that the courts have even prohibited SPOON feeding renders your entire absurd excuse for an argument moot.

So, it looks like that's it for The Other One.

Apologies to Jerry Garcia, not to you. :)

I am assuming she had no idea that any comment she made would lead to her being put through an awful death like this.

"Well, then yes, let's assume, she knew what extraordinary efforts meant, and that definition includes forced feeding."

At the time Terri allegedly made this statement, it DID NOT include being fed through a tube.

It wasn't til 1999, due in part through the efforts of Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, that the law was passed to include feeding tubes as artificial life support.
