That's something I've been thinking about lately too with this present controversy. She is severely disabled, and cannot care for herself. But then, so are tens of thousands of others. I realize that what is operative here is that the husband has asserted that she would not want extraordinary measures to keep her alive. But how much longer would it be before "guardians" started asserting that their "wards" would want to die if given the choice?

Terri is NOT the only case in this situation. Terri is the only case getting this media attention.

Terri living or dying will set a precedent for a number of others in her similar situation.
