You consider giving nutrition through a feeding tube to someone who is breathing on their own "Playing God".
You think a person on artificial life support (such as myself depending on a ventilator to breathe) should be taken off so the situation whether that person lives or dies is in God's hands.
You do not think that creating human embryos and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is "Playing God"

By taking her off artificial life support ... the situation now truly IS in God's hands. If she's meant to stay ... she'll come around and survive to tell about it. If she's meant to go ... God will take her when it's time.
It's an argument by using the Gods of science to keep her living or the God of religion to do as he/she/it sees fit or just plain fate. The latter we've all discussed before with our own injuries.
Terri is being a puppet and the puppet masters are pulling the strings (playing God).
I'm not a God but, if there be one, it's in his hands according to your reply :-)
