She produces saliva, I'm quite sure from hearing the nurses testifiy on television unapposed, not to mention the lack of response from the professional fellow on the radio who had stated just what you've heard. I think I've offered a good explanation for you. As one nurse said some time ago (I paraphrase), "we fed her jello in '93 while she was in my care, and if she doesn't swallow then where did it go? It didn't come out of her ears!" CJ gave you an explanation as to why she can't swallow. Apparently, she might be able to swallow saliva........however, food is a problem. As for the jello, there are a lot of misrepresentations made by nurses over this case. I suspect this is one of them. Even Terri's parents accept that she must be tube fed; otherwise they would bring her jello to eat. You understand the court ruling? Terri is permitted to eat food. She just can't be kept alive by artificial means........meaning a tube in her navel. So why aren't her parents feeding her jello? ted
