If there is ANY doubt as to the intentions of the husband, what is the harm in keeping her alive, with her parents? You surely are a mighty trusting soul. If these parents say they want to take care of her, and also say that her husband has meant and continues to mean her harm for possibly self-serving purposes, should that not at least be looked at. I choose to believe the parents in this case, not the death culture.

As to who has the right to interfere, law inforcement does. Terri can't speak for herself, she needs to have others speak for her who are not OBVIOUSLY compromised. This should be thoroughly investigated to the satisfaction of Terri's protectors. Who's to say that her "husband" is telling the truth?

By the way, I think it is a bit obtuse to see those films and not see that she is responding to outside stimuli. Did you see her eyes following the balloon. If you err you must err on the side of life and not death.

And you are being a bit obtuse in ignoring that persons in a persistent vegetative state CAN and often DO respond to outside stimuli (see my post above above)...the question is whether it's a conscious response....
