How about because her doctors (experts) didn't think it was a worthwhile endeavor and because it didn't even have a 1% chance of working. The judge is not in the position to just let people experiment on a person if they aren't doctors.

If the mothers who came before Solomom were to come before Judge Greer, he'd chop the baby in half even if both mothers objected.

In this case, one side is claiming Terri can't take food by mouth, and the other is claiming that she might be able to. It would be illegal to starve her if she could take food by mouth.
