a plug is a plug - the issue has to do with brain death. Do you consider a vegetative state a form of brain death that will allow for the medical profession to allow the body to expire/die by withholding what it needs to live (be it food or artificial support of some kind).

The question of whether Terri is truly PVS is the big question here. Doctors on both sides disagree. Videos (smuggled out by the way) seem to indicate that she may not be PVS. Felos and Schiavo claim the videos are misleading, but offer nothing to substantiate that except for their own hearsay that that the videos don't represent the reality. But they block any attempt for any information to leak out that would prove the Schindler's case. I like the idea of letting the whole world get a chance to see if she really is as hopeless as her husband says she is. Felos and company will never agree to such a thing on the bogus argument that they are protecting her privacy.
