"It was about carrying out her expressed will to die if she were brain damaged and being supported by artificial means."

"It was the extreme pro-life crowd that totally ignored Terri's wishes..."

There is absolutely zero, none, nada, zilch evidence of Terri's expressed will to die if she were brain damaged and being supported by artificial mean.

Terri's husband alleged that this was what she wanted ~ her parents alleged it was not.

That is the total extent of anyone knowledge about what Terri wanted!

I don't know about 'pro-lifers'. I don't belong to them, but I agree with them more then not. Actually, ...I saw some wacko's on both sides this past week...if you ask me the pro-death crowd was actually just plain mean. The pro-life crowd had more wackiness I'll conceed, but they were nicer, and shared their food and drinks. They would sing and stuff...but were basically harmless nice people. The 'pro-kill Terri' crowd were a scary bunch. I saw Felos up *close*, man...and I have to tell you, he's a truly scary old coot (think 'Worm-toungue' from LOTR). It's about basic human decency!! Why not just err on the side of human decency and let her mother and father care for her. I never will understand the opposition to that.

I'm not 'God'...no one knew what SHE wanted.
I'm sure she didn't want to be bedridden and helpless for so long, but I'm doubly sure she didn't want to be starved to death.

I have seen vids of her laugh at music.

I may be young, but I know when a person laughs at music it means they are 'there' in some capacity.

Also, being in Pinellas county, you can't help but know this case. I grew up with it practically.
I know more then most people...and Clearwater is a town under siege. You all should come to some Town council meetings sometime.

From Xenu-city.net

"Since 1975, downtown Clearwater, Florida has been under occupation by the criminal paramilitary cult known as the "Church" of Scientology. For more than two decades, the organization has waged a covert war against the government, citizens, and institutions of the city in an attempt to seize economic and political control of the region, and establish the first "Scientology city"."

Sorry. I don't have one that says, "Ma'am", but you get my drift.

"There is absolutely zero, none, nada, zilch evidence of Terri's expressed will to die if she were brain damaged and being supported by artificial mean."

As required by Florida law, Judge Greer had "clear and convincing" evidence as to Terri's wishes and so ordered her feeding tube removed.

"Terri's husband alleged that this was what she wanted ~ her parents alleged it was not."

Terri's husband and .... c'mon .... keep going .... and who? There you go. Terri's husband AND his brother, Scott AND Terri's best friend, Joan all testified in front of Judge Greer in a court of law, under oath, subject to cross examination and under penalty of perjury what Terri told them as to her wishes.

Terri's parents didn't testify. Only Terri's mother testified. AND, she recanted her testimony, admitting that Terri had to have been only 11 years old when she made her statement.

Instead of spending your time cutting and pasting, you may want to educate yourself on this case before making a further fool of yourself.
