"Terri said she didn't want to be kept alive by artificial means, the way she is now. "

This is a feeding tube, not a life-support respirator.

"There's no question that she would want to die by removal of life support. "

"Feeding" is not 'life support'.

Thanks to Sen Jim King it is.

(10) "Life-prolonging procedure" means any medical procedure, treatment, or intervention, including artificially provided sustenance and hydration, which sustains, restores, or supplants a spontaneous vital function. The term does not include the administration of medication or performance of medical procedure, when such medication or procedure is deemed necessary to provide comfort care or to alleviate pain.

"There's no question that she would want to die by removal of life support. "

The Judge did NOT order Terri's life support be removed. His order didn't even state "feeding tube." He ordered "no nutrient nor hydration."
