Advance directives

find an article that addresses Terri Schiavo, artificially supplied fluid and nutrition, feeding tubes or persistent vegetative state. The articles can be from professional journal, media, or non-professional sources. The group should divide itself into two groups and debate for and against the decision made to remove the feeding tube in the Terri Schiavo case. At the conclusion of the debate, discuss how or if an advance directive may have impacted the case. The initial posting is the summary of your debate, did the courts make the right decision and the impact an AD would have had. You need a reference list with the articles/media used in the discussion (APA formatting). Remember to list the group member and their roles at the beginning of the post. As an individual you will respond to 2 of the other groups’ postings
