Quote: Premature babies are fed through feeding tubes, sometimes for YEARS and grow up to be fine.

However in most cases they are not brain dead vegetables. You are generalizing. Each case is different.

I don't know of any brain dead vegetables. That's not relavant to Terri, seen here laughing at her father's jokes.

First - Terri is not a brain dead vegetable - that is a myth. She is not in a PVS even though that is what the MSM is reporting.

Second - I was addressing the question of how someone can live with a feeding tube. Babies, people - particularly the elderly - live with feeding tubes.
