Nurses have fed her that way.Well, if the nurses have been doing that, then based on the location of her brain damage, they are putting her at risk for aspirative pneumonia, since she presumably has no gag reflex. And thus, they are increasing her risk of death. I quite certain that would be against state licensure for nurses.

But it's fine to do it to Terri. Geez.I don't see the connection at all. Unless you are thinking of POW's or death row inmates who also have no cortical activity? Otherwise, it's apples and oatmeal.
