You can go about 2-8 weeks without food (less without water, up to weeks, I think). From what I've read, it seems as if Terry is brain dead, and therefore unable to
feel pain and thirst, but I do agree that it would be better for everyone involved to just give her an injection or something. This topic is already being discussed
here.
