Well, Catholics -- or at least Terri & her family are Catholic. They're now also saying that cutting off her food & water goes against Catholic doctrine.

Leaving the religious and legal arguments aside, I still don't think starvation is a humane way to die. She may not consciously know what's going on -- I'm not sold one way or another on what she's capable of understanding -- but the effects on her body will be the same, which I think makes it all the more cruel.
