a hospice is a place for a person to die; how can it be abuse if
a person is allowed to die in a hospice--that's the function of a hospice. People go there to die.

1. IMO it's a farce - they are trying to do whatever it takes to get that
feeding tube back into Terri and if saying she's being abused works, then so be it. "The idiots that cried wolf".

2. Remember right to lifers don't care about any function except the right to

4. then she shouldn't have been in a hospice if she has a normal
life expectancy with the feeding tube. Hospices are for people who are dying. If she isn't dying then she should be moved to a more appropriate facility. Where, I don't know.
