I just signed a living will this afternoon. If my body ever ends up
like Terri's, I've made the decision to starve myself to death, and I
now have a legal document making my wishes to do so abundantly clear.
I'd say that *anyone* who signs a living will chooses to starve
himself to death in the event that there is no hope of recovery. And,
I'd wager that if Terri had signed a living will, she'd have died of
starvation, by her own choice, years ago.
