Wasn't Terri Shchiavo basically denied nutrition and hydration? I believe she was still breathing on her own - she was essentially starved to death.
The husband argued that she was brain dead.That is totally different than not being able to function at all without machines. I think it is barbaric to allow someone to die that way.
