Further, nobody was MURDERED.

It seems you have trouble reading the FACTS of the situation, and use emotional outbursts instead of facts to get your feelings across.
LIES do not serve any purpose, neither for her memory, nor respect for her husband or parents.

You can debate what her condition was, and even then qualified professional people do NOT agree with your possition.
She died Feb 25 1990. Perhaps you feel that, despite
the clear evidence that her mind, therefore her being, (the mind is your being, your humanity, your conciousness, awareness of self, your SOUL) that she may somehow have been alive, had awareness of self.
that is your opinion, and no amount of discussion, science, medical knowlage and FACT will change it.
Therefore it's pointless to discuss it any further.

A decision to let someone go should be made in a timely manner. The time to have made a decision like this would have been after the doctors determined that her brain function was irreversibly devastated by the lack of oxygen. At that point, if she had been on a ventilator, which I believe she was, she should have been taken off the vent. If she survived that, fluids and nourishment should not have been withheld. To starve someone and dehydrate them, even if they are not aware, is inhumane and I believe it is against God's will. In my few years practicing in a hospital as an R.N. in the early 1980's, I never saw a patient denied fluids or nourishment. There were plenty of Do Not Resuscitate orders for those who were terminal and resuscitating would serve no purpose other than to prolong their suffering. Teri should have also had a DNR order. I don't know if she ever had to be resuscitated after hospitalization, but that should have been done once it was determined that to bring her back would not enrich her life.

Except for Terri Schiavo, of course, who was dehydrated and starved to death.
