Can someone please explain the difference? [View All]

[POAS]

It has been argued by many on the Schindler side of the Schiavo controversy that this is different from cases such as the Sun Hudson case in Texas because she is not terminal she only needs food. Cases such as Hudson's, on the other hand, are prople that cannot live without a ventilator keeping air moving into and out of theri lungs.

So what is the difference?

If I don't get air I will die. If I don't get food I will die. The doctors overcome (temporarily) these deficiencies through the use of machines.

Both patients are terminal without the intervention of machines.
