In the past couple years Florida law was changed to specifically make a feeding tube considered extraordinary means. That could've been changed by Jeb, et al. It wasn't. The Congress could've addressed this in a general way because, despite the media over-emphasis on this particular case, this feeding tube removal happens EVERY DAY. It's happened since the early 1980's when the courts first ruled. Congress did nothing of the kind.

Like I said, this death represents a dereliction of duty on the part of all three branches of government as well as the people. No, it did not happen overnight. A "nation of laws" that is adversarial to the protection and defense of the innocent is a nation destined for downfall.

I question your assertion that feeding tube removal happens every day for the purpose of starving otherwise helpess people to death. Even if this is true, the frequency in no way effects the moral turpitude of such an action.

May Terri now feel the sun upon her face
The wind in her hair
Her hunger appeased, and her thirst quenched
All of the things that her Loving husband denied her in life.

God Speed Terri
