I'm afraid it's over. The 11th circuit COA was her last hope. The USSC is hopeless. I'm getting a sense the media is moving on. . . spending more time with that Minnesota high school murderer story than Terri's.

It really frosts me that the culture of death has apparently won this battle.

Terri is the one feeling the pain, but all those who want to protect human life are going along on her twisted, tortuous legal journey.

Dr. Cranford, Michael's main medical "expert," who testified in Greer's court for Michael that Terri is PVS, has said that PVS patients have no constitutional rights. That's equivalent to saying they are non-persons.

I'm beginning to think this fight is not really about a husband's right to honor his wife's wishes.

This legal fight is really about having the state define PVS (and other severely disabled?) folks as NON-PERSONS.

5 years from now, will anyone who is PVS be allowed to have a feeding tube even if they had drawn up a medical directive asking for one?
