Please produce proof that Terri wanted to have all food and water withdrawn from her, even by mouth, and die that way.

TM129: I am afraid, very afraid, that the choice to refuse medical care will disappear if we begin to force individuals into unnecessary legal battles, unnecessary human tragedy, and unwarranted extreme burdens for people (emotional, physical, mental and financial) by unnaturally extended life and forcing people to accept feeding tubes for unlimited time periods, respirators and surgeries unwanted by a person or their immediate family.

FO: Please produce proof that Terri wanted to have all food and water withdrawn from her, even by mouth, and die that way.

I made a statement that the right to refuse medical assistance is at risk and that it concerns me.

I wasn't trying to prove that Terri wanted or didn't want to have food and water withheld.

I have, however, tried to make the point that when the physical body is unable to process food (chew and swallow) and drink water adequately, that the body is and has shut down and it is unlawful (even according to God, if God has so situated that body) to force that physical body to receive food and water.
