I'm still waiting for your science fiction explanation of how a dead woman was capable of so much interaction with her environment. Or maybe you can explain how her dead body continued to function for two weeks without any food, water, or outside intervention of any type.
This is tricky but I'll try to explain. You see, Terri died in 1990. Her memorial says so. She was brain dead in the next fifteen years. Nathan Zachary has said so several times in this thread. However, she had pluck. She had spirit. She had full capacity to make important legal, medical and moral decisions concerning her well-being and her future. Judge Greer said so.
Terri had a special knack for coming alive to agree with her loving husband. For instance, when Michael said that Terri wanted to die, Terri un-died, sat right up, and stated "clearly and convincingly" that she would rather be dead (again). She was already dead, so when she said that she wanted to die, it made sense to Judge Greer.
One day they came to her and said, "Terri, bad news. We have to force-feed you!" She was dead, but they thought she should know. Terri sat up again and said, "I REFUSE! I don't want your steenkin' water and food! Take off my feeding tube! I long to die in agony, so don't you dare give me any ice chips, either!" But they said, "Terri, you have to take the tube off yourself. We can't do that to you. That would be murder, even though your memorial says you died fifteen years ago."
But poor Terri couldn't take the tube off because she was dead and brain dead, so she solved the problem (as Nathan Zachary told us earlier) by starving herself to death in 1990.
I trust this makes perfect sense. The experts have told us these things.
