We allowed a human being to be dehydrated until she died. We would be arrested for doing that to an animal. The autopsy report said that she died of dehydration. So now having an autopsy report should make us feel better? To all of those who are so hard-hearted - to stand by and allow a child of God to die this way and do nothing - I have pity on your soul. I pray that this will never happen to a child of yours.

Excellent post.....we wouldn't even do to a dog what was done to Terri.....and yet, some people will defend what was done to Terri.... until they meet their Maker.

Point is that folks who said "there is no "there, there" vis a vis terry, because her "brain was filled with spinal fluid" were wrong. The EEG showed no activity because the brain shrunk away from the skull.

A PET or MRI would have showed that she had a cortex, and that it would have (most likely) responded to stimuli.

We know two things:

1. The real reason WHY the husband would not allow a PET or MRI

2. We allowed an innocent human being to be starved to death.

I will pray for the judge tonight, and all of the people who supported straving this poor woman to death. That is all I can do now.

Of course not. A dog in her condition would have been euthanized 15 years ago. Are you advocating legalizing euthanasia for humans?

No, we inject them.  So you're saying we should have injected Terri?  Maybe so, but there would have been objections to that as having been disallowing her to survive without it, if she could.
