I know of at least one case where a person did just that...they stopped the dehydration, went back to the judge (In FLORIDA!), who ruled she wasn't in her right mind (because of being delirous from thirst), and reordered the dehydration.
God was merciful. She died before they restarted.
We need to protect our handicapped. Too many project their fears of being handicapped on those who are, and would prefer to remove them from their sight. And if it means killing them so they feel better, well that's what they'll justify.
Someone in the elevator at work today was complaining about how we shouldn't be forced to watch this debacle on television. I quitely told her I nearly dehydrated to death, know what it feels like (although I was nowhere near where Terri is right now), and before she voices an opinion she oughta try it sometime. She shut up. I would have said more but she got off and the doors closed after her.
I'd like to know more about that if you have more information.
