Karen,

What I was trying to say was that people who want Terri's feeding tube connected sincerely believe that they are working in her interests and people who want it disconnected sincerely believe that they are working in her interests.

Well said.

Michael appears to have tried really hard to work with his wife's doctors in the early years. This flies in the face of the sinister accusations that may have come from some things he said in frustration later. Being frustrated 4 or 10 years into this kind of ordeal is only human.

Two things occurred here that created this havoc - the mother fought him on the DNR order after he was convinced she was beyond help. Then the Florida legislature redefined nourishment by tube as an extraordinary measure. This permitted a new out - separate from the DNR.

Those of us who view life as sacred - should fight that law and permit and advise families to look at DNR's appropriately when advised of their options by their doctors.
