If I ask not to be kept alive in a vegetative state, I would expect that yes, starving to death may be a possible outcome of my requst.
If I had my wish come true in this case, Michael would have divorced Terri and allowed her parents to take care of her, however my wish means nothing because our laws determine the spouse has the ultimate say over their spouses medical decisions should they be unable to speak for themselves. If you don't like the way the current law stands you should definitely fight for a change.
