And SJB's article from Fr. Martin Stepanich doesn't address Cupertino's question either:

Quote from: Cupertino

"whether Terry Schiavo was capable (without any artificial means of tube feeding), of getting enough hydration per day to prevent inevitable dehydration, as well as enough nutrition?"

From Fr. Stephanich, The Four Marks, 2008

While Fr. Stepanich's training alone does not necessarily make him correct, there can be no doubt that his training is immeasurably superior to that of Fr C (which is not necessarily Fr C's fault, considering the insanity of the post-V2 era). I only mention this because JC, whose tongue and its endless offerings are more akin to Fool's Gold than the genuine article, seems to think that being trained at Econe carries some kind of notable weight. Even if we are so kindly-disposed as to grant that it does, that weight, compared to Fr. Stepanich's, would be like a small rock compared to Mont Blanc.

And what?
That you as a layman and Seminary dropout, are somehow more qualified than a trained Priest, Canon Law expert and theologian?

The Schiavo case was very sad. All of us had emotions with her plight and lifes ending.

But again, no one, not even you, will address the fact, after 8 attempts of mine, as to Why ANYONE would betray Ms Schiavos wishes to NOT be assisted at Life through Artificial Machinery, and telling/giving this Directive to 3 Seperate Family Members.

Machinery that is mechanical and powered by electronics and electricity.

If that was her wish, why would you or anyone seek to betray it?
Maybe I shouldnt ask YOU that question though.

My point is that the quote from Fr. Stepanich posted by SJB doesn't address the exact question that Cupertino asked:

"Whether Terry Schiavo was capable (without any artificial means of tube feeding), of getting enough hydration per day to prevent inevitable dehydration, as well as enough nutrition?"

Cupertino may be on to something very important there.

Are you Amish? Anyway, I've never heard of machinery that isn't "mechanical," as even an Amish sawmill is a "machine" that is "mechanical."
