I believe she did too.

We don’t know what certain states of the brain leave functioning and not functioning.

I’m not willing to make the assumption that oh someone is in a coma, they don’t feel or know anything, or in a vegetative state and they don’t feel or know anything or comprehend anything that’s going on around them or happening to them.

Furthermore, if there is a time when euthanasia is called for, with dogs at the end of their time with us for example, then the method of killing needs to be quick, as it is with dogs. It’s hard enough to put dogs down even knowing they go out almost immediately. Imagine having to euthanize your dog by depriving it of water until it does from dehydration...

If we do not treat our dogs this way, why on earth would we treat people this way? I cannot understand it, and I won’t understand it.

(Just want to say that I don’t think terry Schiavo should have been killed at all, I was just using the example of dogs to illustrate that I cannot understand what was done to her in any way, shape or form.)

Terri was tortured to death so that others would fall for Living Wills and then grant permission to be tortured themselves someday without realizing that once you sign your right to life away, your wishes may not be granted at all but you have signed your life away thinking there’s no pain or suffering. (if comatose with no brain waves and no ability to breathe without being “plugged in”, that is different than starving and dehydrating a living creature to death. Living Wills are really self executed death sentences. It is doublespeak. There are other wills that offer better protections than what the pimps pushing Living Wills provide.
