“PVS is something that needs to be abolished… It is a completely subjective diagnosis, based entirely upon the interpretation of the doctor.” To drive this point home, Schindler referred to a recent British study which concluded that PVS is misdiagnosed 43 % of the time.
The media also repeatedly referred to Terri as being on artificial life support. “This confused the public” said Bobby. “They never said that she was receiving food and water. In the eyes of the law in our country, food and water are now considered medical treatment, extraordinary care. Feeding tubes are now seen as other than basic care.”
What angered me the most during Terri's starvation/murder was the fact that most people didn't understand how little medical care she actually required.

And that she was denied rehabilitation for years as her brain continued wasting away to half the normal size (per autopsy report). Brains, like muscles, do not atrophy overnight and can regain function through regular, consistent therapy.

(Are Marxist academics and apostate bishops trustworthy enough to tell you who the "real" Jesus is?)
As someone on FR said,
Terri was alive until the media got through with her.
Murdeous Mike, the lying media, jugdes, law-yers & courts, gov't agencies, fleeing bishops, la-la enforcement, et'al...
Those who didn't know, who didn't care, - citizens & leaders who didn't act to protect an innocent life.

Heart and lung machines were ALWAYS considered EXTRAORDINARY care NOT feeding tubes.
There are a number of things abut this case that made me sick. The lies by the media were GAULING. If I hear once more that she was in a persistent vegetative state, I will go insane.
My heart aches for Bobby and the Schindlers. What happened to Terri was a NIGHTMARE, of the GHOULISH kind, and one of the most frustrating, frightening surreal scenario's I have ever witnessed.
May God bless all the Schindlers and they shall and should remain in our prayers. If someone had done to my sibling, what was done to Terri, I don't think I could recover.

The one who frames the debate tends to win. The other side skilfully framed this one. Teri was starved to death, but the people who supported her are the ones who got painted to be the whackos. Go figure that one!

Dems and the MSM are in a parallel universe with Islamo terrorist. We must never forget what they did to Terri.

Bobby's summary is a good one.
