All she can do is breath. I don't want to sound heartless, but she is useless. If her condition hasnt changed at all in 15 years, give up. I wouldn't blame the guy for wanting the money, he has paid the hospital for keeping her alive for 15 years. that's got to be expensive and I would want to get some money back too. I'm glad they pulled her feeding tube and I wish people wouldn't make such a huge deal about this. It was a personal situation between two parties. Nothing more, nothing less.

Actually, from what I understand, she CAN eat and drink, even though she was on a feeding tube. That is why some of the protestors have tried to bring bread and water to her in the hospice.
