One of the biggest travesties of this case is one of language: tubes are being interchanged with wires, as in hooked up to equipment, ventilators, heart-lung machines, etc. They've been able to take her basic food nourishment TUBE and construe that as artificial support! God Bless Terri Schiavo!!!! Fight, Terri, fight on!!!
You got that right! It is very frustrating how they are interchanging terminology to make it more palatable.
