My grandmother passed today. At 10:45AM EST, to be exact. She had no idea who I was. She had no idea who my mother was, even though she had been at her bedside every day for five years.

Mike did Terry a monumental favor.

Her name was Terri. She was murdered. Murder is wrong.

They know. People in a coma can hear and still have the sense of touch.

They know! I speak from experience — click my name to see part of my story about my husband’s death from lung cancer.

My grandmother has been in the same condition as your grandmother for almost 11 years. Are you saying we should kill people like her? I would rather be dead then carry on like that, but my grandmother never told us what she wanted. I don’t think that we should be deciding who lives and who dies.

Several people have emerged from a “PVS” state and told of their experiences while they were incapacitated. They could hear, see, and feel while being helpless. Several could hear others talking about removing their feeding tube, letting them die, etc.

Unless you are Terri, you can’t know what she wanted. As a devout Christian she would not have chosen suicide. If you knew the particulars of her life, you would not say what you said.

"Mike did Terry a monumental favor."

Maybe she knew you and your mother to well and that is why she didn't respond to you.
