There is much that we don't know about what is motivating those who insist she be given this so called "right to die." I just think there is way more to this than what we've been told, and that we are all going to become more educated as things unfold. There are powerful forces working on both sides who are determined to prevail regardless of what happens to TS.

I saw a piece on FOX earlier today that said that Living Wills can be and have been successfully challenged in courts, so yes, nothing seems to be what it is.

Missed that....but does this put food and water in the same category as 'air to breathe'....?

I keep wondering if people think starvation, and thrown in dehydration, is so easy a way to die....why do we get so exercised and try to save entire populations who are dying of starvation and dehydration.

Perhaps we should start asking those people who are saying this about Michael's choice, (and the Court's choice) of a way to die for Terri.....

And I never would have dreamed that food and water = "extraordinary measures."
