The worst part was the betrayal, the abandonment of Terri in 2005. Her life was worthy in 2003 but in 2005, it wasn't. This made many walk away from grassroots politics altogether. Some may never vote again. Others have changed parties and some will be changing parties. It's too soon to measure the damage done to our political system.
Terri's barbaric euthanization was frustrating, maddening and sad.
It's a matter of helping new cases now. Terri's legacy produced a large internet network that remains largely in tact.
