Yes, Terri Schiavo could live for decades if the unnatural feeding tube was in place.

Yes. Michael did not allow Terri to be given rehabilitation in eating by mouth.

Rehabilitation is needed if someone has been fed by tube for a long time.

Terri had been able to eat by mouth after her "collapse" and was still able to swallow her saliva until her "forced exit."

Quite a trick Michael pulled.

He made Terri dependent on tube feeding and, then he said (like you), that Terri didn't deserve to live, because she needed to be fed unnaturally.

The serial philanderer widower, Michael, has shown the way for other guardians how to get rid of unwanted wards.

IF indeed, rehabilitation was possible for Terri Schiavo, to re-learn how to chew and swallow food, then you have a point.

However, tests were performed repeatedly. The idea that she might be rehabilitated was a pipe dream. Nothing more. You cannot relearn something if you have NO ABILITY to learn it in the first place. The lack of brain matter that governs the chewing and swallowing of food is the real issue. Terri Schiavo lacked that.

Her parents could not believe otherwise and found anything and anyone who would substantiate their hope.

Just because they found someone who substantiated their hope does not make their belief in this *cure* realisitc or valid.
