By what law was Terri denied so much as a damp sponge?

Note that while the laws allow for withdrawal of 'artificial' food and hydration, they do not allow for the withdrawal of oral food and hydration, nor do they allow for the withdrawal of pallative care.

I am well aware that when there were no efforts to deny gastrostomic feeding doctors thought oral feeding was sufficiently dangerous as to preclude pursuing it. That in no way justifies a refusal to allow it when the only alternative was absolute 100% guaranteed death. Even if oral feeding only had a 10% chance or even 1% chance of success, there was no legitimate reason to deny it.
