Yes. Her husband testified that Terri stated she would not want to live in a vegetative state . "No tubes for me" were her exact words, acccording to her husband.

Thirty or so judges reviewed the evidence and agreed. For what it's worth, the husband could have divorced Terri and moved on... it would have been so easy... but he followed through and honored his wife's wishes despite the interference of everyone from the President on down.

A few years ago my dad was in a nursing home with a feeding tube, catheter and a bunch of other horrible things. In one of his lucid moments he looked at my wife and me and said "If they can't help me why don't they leave me alone." A month or so later his feeding tube became detached... and I declined to sign the papers necessary to allow the surgical procedure to reinsert it. My father's doctor agreed with that decision. Hew died eight days later.

Would you call me a liar? A murderer?

Did Terry say starve me and dehydrate me? The exercise of free will was that of a judge and her hubby. Murder.
