Life support can keep you going through trauma until other measures can be taken.

That's a far cry from 15 years down the road........

Terri has not been on life support. Life support is being hooked up to a ventilator and/or keeping your heartbeat electrically stimulated. A feeding tube may prolong life, but does not come under the category of life support. See, like the vast majority of Americans, you're not as informed as you think.

Will she die without the feeding tube?

Sounds like life support to me......
