We are a nation founded on ingenuity and invention. Who has a clever way to get water to Terri?

I think it would take an army.

Convince a doctor?

Another flood of biblical proportions.

Have some of the protestors cause a commotion and distract the police. Then sneak through the back. Wait till after nightfall and use stealthy measures...it might work. Never know.

If caught, what is the charge?

Sure.

Tap the war veterans community. Many of them are disabled or have really good buddies who are disabled.

Attempted Life-Saving, a new felony under US law.

A standard glass of water would kill her. There is a reason she required a tube for food and water. Pooring water into her mouth would cause her lungs to aspirate. So by all means, if you wish to end her life in a more efficient manner then give her a glass of water.

She can swallow.

Would she live longer if it was more humid? If the body dried out slower?

A nurse indicated she fed her jello and that she could swallow, but after six days of starvation and dehydration, I don't believe it is advisable to hydrate her with a glass of water.

Rats! You're right. This is my fantasy:

A nurse goes beserk. She goes to the med cupboard gets some sedative and puts it in some coffee. Offers the coffee to the guard. Hooks up Terri to an IV for an hour and then unhooks her. Who knows? Maybe that is already happening. The Monsignor said that her mouth is still moist.

Is there a prayer to St Veronica?

What methods were used for people in Stalin's prisons?

Well, if EVERYBODY there just rushes past all the guards and everybody trying to deny Terri life, they can't get everybody.

You know, it could be very possible that an angel feeds her/moistens her lips every night. I believe I said it before and even if I didn't, I'm saying it now, tradition holds that Mary Magdeline lived in a cave and was fed the Eucharist as her only sustinence until she died. I hope that is what happens with Terri. I hope she lives for over a year in comfort as a witness for all to see. And, that's the thing, I just want the woman to be comfortable. That's it. I don't want her to suffer.
