don't understand what you think that demonstrates

what it demonstrates is if he was the person responsible for having the tube inserted in the first place (while she was still able to swallow ....at least according to some testimony)

he then created the very scenario for the argument he was to use in court to have her life terminated ....that being she is vegetating on a feeding tube and had her express (hearsay) wish to him was that she would prefer to die than to live in that way

don't see the point of that. So what if she can swallow? How does that change anything? Her higher level brain is still mush. What's the difference between being a cerebrumless and swallowing vs cerebrumless and non-swallowing? The idea is that she purportedly wouldn't want to live without a cerebrum. The swallowing thing seems like a red herring to me but I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise.

that has been in contention according to what i have read

at the very least this woman should have the benefit of the latest testing techniques (for example no MRI or pet scan) so that a consensus view can be established wrt her current condition...

and even with such testing, i think the court should revist mr. schiavo's standing as her guardian considering HIS current
situation with a common law wife and children
