How does that make you more worthy? If a judge ordered your nutrition and hydratation withheld, would you still support a judge's right to make that decision, or do you only agree when it's someone else they're lording their power over?

Under Florida law, artificial feeding tubes are considered medical treatment which can be refused by the patient.

The alternative would seem to be forcing feeding tubes on people who do not want them. Do you favor that?

Terri did not refuse the feeding tube. Judge Greer ordered the removal of her feeding tube, and denied any and all attempts to provide hydration and/or nutrition in any manner, including orally. Why do you support his decision to impose these orders on Terri? Do you believe he has the right to impose the same orders on you? Do you believe that you should be subject to the same rules you want other people to be subject to?

In 1990, when Terri supposedly made these remarks, feeding tubes were normal care. Why would she have thought they weren't if no one else did?

This was never an issue until 1999. And are you suggesting that someone would WANT to be dehydrated to death?

Terminally ill patients often cannot tolerate food and hydration. But what of those that are healthy, as Terri was?

You'd better pray that you never need a feeding tube someday....for whatever reason.
