what this is about is following her wishes for her to not have to 'suffer' the indignity of being kept alive when there is no hope, to not be kept alive artificially (and if she needs a surgical implant in order to ingest food without choking, that's definatly artificial life support).

as far as suffering is concerned, this isn't about terri. unless you think someone with no consciouness and no ability to comprend the environment or time, then she's not suffering. the only people suffering are her family and loved ones.
