Are you a medical examiner? Don't you think an ME would know the effects of dehydration on the brain and factor it in?
Unlike some people, I DON'T pretend to know more than those who spent years studying and years working in their chosen profession.
Terri's autopsy PROVED without a doubt the removal of the feeding tube was NO different than pulling the plug of a heart/lung machine or signing a Do Not Resuscitate order - all are ARTIFICIAL life extensions for those who have NO hope of recovery.
The autopsy proves nothing either way. The ME can not identify what caused a healthy heart to stop beating and an autopsy is incapable of determining a state, or no state, of consciousness.
The only thing we know for sure is that the State of Florida oredered her death without 100% knowledge of those issues. Some support that and some don't. You can put me in the don't column.
