TERRI IS NOT TERMINALLY ILL OR HOOKED UP TO MACHINES.

BTW, is there any medical reason, other than convenience terminology, for removing the feeding tube from a patient who cannot (or is not allowed to) take food/water by mouth? To the uninformed, "remove someone's feeding tube" sounds much better than "stop giving someone food and water", don't you think? But if the intention were simply to stop giving food and water, why not leave the tube in place?

She also didn't say "No tubes for me!" as asserted by Felos in the Oct. 10th court hearing before Lazarra. Anyone know how to get a hold of these transcripts of the hearing typed up by the court reporter? Please help.

As long as the tubes in place it would be easier to try to slip terri even some water. You could do it with anything like a turkey baster baby enema syring etc
