The judge did not order it, it is the decision of her guardian. The judge recognizes Michael as her guardian. The law includes nourishment in the category of 'life support'. Seeing as the guardian has decided he wants life support removed, (whether you believe it is what Terri wanted or not is immaterial) that is what the judge is doing. He is following the law. Other judges all over this country have upheld the decision.
What part of this can't you understand?

Oh, I don't know... The part where a judge is mandating that a disabled woman be starved to death. All the rest of it is legalistic smoke.
If that somehow makes sense to you, I would recommend you review the condition of your soul. Personally, I opt out of a country that condemns innocent people to be murdered by starvation.

U R correct.
The feeding tube is "life support."
Without it she cannot eat or drink. That's the reason for the feeding tube.
Can't figure out what part of that some can't understand.
