B. Effective immediately, all medical facilities and personnel providing medical care for Theresa Schiavo, and all those acting in concert or participation with them, are hereby directed to immediately provide nutrition and hydration to Theresa Schiavo by means of a gastronomy tube, or by any other method determined appropriate in the reasonable judgment of a licensed physician. I have no idea what is actually going on. However, note Paragraph B, which I've quoted above, especially the part in bold. If the "reasonable judgment of a licensed physician" is that there is no "appropriate" way to do this in her current condition, that could turn out to be a loophole.

No, I don't read it that way. To me it says "the method shall be (a) a gastronomy tube, or (b) any other means a licensed physician might deem appropriate."
Thus, if a doctor determines no other means is appropriate, then the method SHALL BE the gastronomy tube.
