I'm not particularly qualified to do that. I just recognize that there is a whole range of brain injury where the mind may be lost but the body is healthy.
Yes, Terri's body was healthy. Such a shame that her family will never know if she could have improved like some doctors though if she had been allowed to go through a full course of rehab.
One of my uncle's had a brain anurysm. He went into coma and was brain dead. My aun had the plugs (PLURAL as he was on a respirator and other machines) after roughly 3 months. See, there was a big difference between his condition and Terri's. He truly was vegetative and comatose, she wasn't. But, they killed her anyway.
