Has anyone stated a reason why Terri's husband refuses all therapy or treatment for his wife? Or why food and water or antibiotics would be considered artificial means?
Please understand that "Do Not Resuscitate", does not mean "Give no treatment" It means if incapacity or death occurs and all conventional treatment has been attempted, then and only then, do not use extraordinary or artificial means to support life.
Obviously Terri survived even after the feeding and hydration were denied her. Which could mean that she was able to be nourished by mouth all these many years.
Terri's husband is trying to Kill his wife right before our eyes. Whatever the reason, be it inconvenience or more sinister reasons (perhaps he himself being the cause of her plight) maybe money. What is his real reason to withhold food, treatment for infections and therapy from another human being? And how is standing by and allowing this to happen any different than watching a parent withhold nourishment from an infant until death occurs?
