One of the most noted rabbis (who passed away c. 1986/ c5756)
discussing this isse back then remarks (killing them
as Terri was) is murder even if the person is in a condition
where “insensitive” persons refer to (the potential victim)
as a “vegetable” This is Rav Moshe Feinstein z”l, as
quoted in Abraham S. Abraham’s Nishmat Avraham which I
remember requesting in the library four years (!) and
I *think* a few days ago. I also personally do not think
Terri was in a “PVS” state, based on discussions I have had
with persons recovering from brain injury.
