No problem with it? I'd have lots of problems with it. I'd be heartbroken to have to face any of that, and it would not be a decision that came easy or fast. But If there were no hope of recovery and the choice was years of him not being able to communicate or move, I'd seek to end that, and he would for me, because that is what we've stated we want. And I'd hope we wouldn't end up on TV, being dissected and passed around as grist for the mill.
See, that is one of those distinction things. Terri COULD MOVE. She could turn her head and look at people, she even closed her eyes for prayer and opened them again after the prayer ended. Sounds like more than 'reflex'.
And I'd hope we wouldn't end up on TV, being dissected and passed around as grist for the mill.
There's another distinction. Had it not been for tv, we would not have been able to see Terri move her head, or follow the balloon with her eyes. We got to see something with our own eyes.
