Hospice is for people who are dying, Terri is not dying. She should be fed until she dies. However, I understand that you can't feed someone that is dying or almost dead, but Terri is not this! My grandfather just died under hospice care. He was alert and ate up until 3 days before he died. 3 days before he died he fell into a coma and went peacefully in his sleep. He wasn't expected to live as long as he did. His kidneys had failed and his heart was weak. He lived a long 87 years. It is people like this you don't feed, not Terri. She is alive, and not dying of anything. You don't stop feeding someone who only has brain damamge!

I agree with you.

Terri must have a good constitution if she survived two starvation attempts and untreated infections. She has the potential for living a normal life span or more, if she is taken care of. Hospice is not the place for her.
