Since when is cruelty to the disabled an Orthodox trait?

I spoke with a number of priests at Florida Orthodox churches this morning and every single one of them is against death by dehydration for Terri. We're pro-life, remember?

Of course cruelty to the disabled isn't an Orthodox trait - but what I took from that tape is an existence that I wouldn't want to put my family through were I in that state. Is it theologically correct? I can't say one way or another. I can say that of the living wills I've prepared in the parish, not one has balked at the notion that food and hydration be withdrawn.
