I still can't get over the fact that the judges won't allow her to be fed by hand. If she were on a respirator and they removed it and found that she were able to breath on her own, would they then smother her?????

This makes it painfully obvious, that they WANT to kill Terri, because they don't want to be proven wrong. And even if someone's feeding tube is removed, they are usually kept on IV to hydrate them, because death by dehydration is so horrible and this judge specifically ordered that Terri get no nutrition and no hydration.

You make an excellent point; a better analogy is that this type of thinking would allow any caregiver to keep food and water just out of reach of a child---and see them starve (or, I guess it's dehydrate which is "not painful"/ sarcasm). Their problem they don't have the power to feed themselves.
