I guess we will never know on some of these things...I just think maybe they should have left the tube in long enough for some last investigations , and said OK HEY , we are going to make sure 100% of these things that need to be investigated first...and we arent going to take 15 yrs..we are gonna do it NOW.. There's too many discrepencies to make this 100% certain.

From what I have seen, no medical doctor, save the right wing whores, have concluded she is not in a PVS. There were calls for other tests, but some would have required flying here to New York to perform it and the medical experts agree these tests will merely confirm the PVS and the parents and their supporters have stated that even if new tests confirm the PVS, they still will fight not to have the feeding tube removed. But, all of that is subterfuge, the bottom line is a court ruled based on a plethora of credible medical and other evidence that she did not want to live like this and many different courts have found nothing wrong with that decision. Thus, I say following her intent is the correct thing to do
