We're doing nothing of the sort here.

Yes or No question:

Can we restore Terri's physical body?

Yes or no?

You asked "can we restore Terri's body?"

One of her doctors says YES!, to some degree, but she has not been allowed the therapy to do so. He believes she can eat and drink on her own, and transfer from her chair and back herself with therapy.

When you don't get "Range of Motion" therapy every day, every shift, the muscles atrophy. But her family and friends are willing to help her. She is NOT in pain. She is awake and alert and not in a coma, not in a vegetative state.

And what is your point? If a person can't have a perfect body, they should be killed? Sounds Hitlerian to me.

Can we restore Terri's physical body?

Several doctors have stated that Terri could be helped with therapy... including some kinds of therapy which were not available at the time of her original collapse. Her family is willing to provide this therapy to her. There have even been several offers from doctors to help Terri free of charge.

Can she be restored to her pre-collapse condition? No one knows for sure. Possibly not. But she could probably improve a lot (perhaps even to the point that she could tell what actually happened the night of her collapse). Regardless, her family loves her and wants to take care of her.

Why are you so eager to deny the help that her family, and others, want to provide for her?

Unequivocally, yes! How much would be good enough for you? Does she need to be out of a wheelchair or just be able to communicate? What standard are you looking for?
