You live in Vermont?
Have you ever seem Terri?
Or are you just parroting an agenda.
Do you wonder why local support(pinellas co.)for your cause is so slim?
Did you know that Terris Drs have a poor reputation locally? That Terri has been declared medically and legally vegetative? No one in such condition for so long has ever gotten better. Terri can't indicate her desires either way...no more then she can indicate a desire to have her diapers changed or show hunger. The snippits of vidio that you claim show her supposedly "aware" is tape selectivly culled from hours of vidio tape actually made. Edited for effect. It fools no one who has ever observed a vegetative patient.
Why not show vidio of what a vegetative patients daily life is really like?
Would you want to live without the ability to even indicate your desires or even show gratitude to the CNA who changes your diaper several times a day and cleans your butt or the nurse who has to force feed you?...
Most people look at those tapes and think...God don't make me have to live like that.
I'm in that camp.

She isn't being force fed she is simply being fed. No, I would not want to live like her. I wouldn't want to be killed because I was either. The staff that takes care of her have made their own free will choices to be in that profession.

I agree with the thrust and most of the detailsof your post KDD, but for some very complex reasons my friend, I've been trying to keep this thread from turning into a discussion of the "Terri' topic.
No offense intended, and I hope you understand.

BTW . . . and besides, I need not tag-team assistance on the side issue here (thanks for the effort anyway, if that was your intent) . . . I've been attacked by a better bunch than this at various times past, here.
They will eventually either wear out, or come to realize their foolish apearance is just getting more and more exposure, and give it up.
OTOH, I may just tire of their game-paying myself. Either way, it'll play itself out.

You may live in Florida but I bet you haven't seen her either have you? From the mountain of articles I've read on this issue I can judge as well as Pinellas Co. residents what the merits of this case are. The judge has refused to hear doctors the Schindlers have brought to court and that smacks of a bias that needs explanation if not investigtion.
