I don't consider the feeding tube life support... It is
just the way that this mentally disabled person eats.
A compassionate
judge would weigh the big picture when deciding how to properly repramand
the family for end around tactics. A life is at stake.
Can I
assume that most "pro-life" advocates are trying to save
her?

The governor could issue an executive order requiring
that Terri be taught (rehabilitated) to eat by her self *before* removing
the feeding tube. <That would require putting it back in of

have). The husband likewise could present this as a compromise
position to the woman's family. The family asked for this in
September, but because they did an end run around the court it was
denied. The judge that denied it explicitly said he would have
approved it if they had done it in a legal manner, but because they didn't
he had to deny it. It could still be done. Now
this would have the effect of proving one side right or wrong. If she
is capable of learning to eat on her own it would prove she is not in a
vegetative state. If she is unable to learn to do this, then it would
prove that the feeding tube is life support. This would be an
option that I could support wholeheartedly. The question is, is
either side willing to step back and end this in an adult
fashion? I'm not really in favor of starving her to
death. I *am* in favor of allowing the next of kin to make
decisions (under the applicable laws of the state) concerning life
support. I'd possibly be in favor of making legislation
striking feeding tubes from the definition of life support if it could be
crafted in a way that would keep someone from being able to be kept
indefinitely against their will in a vegetative state. Charles
