Chuck Colson says he was wrong in assessing Terri.

In the earlier commentary I said that "the autopsy showed that [Terri] had been brain-dead." This "finding" did not affect my belief that it was wrong to take her life. My concern from the beginning was with the process we followed and its implications for the sanctity of human life.

My calling Terri "brain-dead" was based on what the media said about the autopsy. For instance, MSNBC began its report this way: "an autopsy on Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention that she was in a persistent vegetative state . . ."
