I have a problem with your article: it doesn't mention that some doctors have testified that Terri can improve with physical therapy.

The article didn't seek quotes from them as to whether they believed Terry has lost most of her cerebral cortex.

The pro euthanasia doctor refers to this loss which he learned of in the "public record". I wonder if he means MRI images or just his opinion based on a selective reading of Terry's behavior.

I also wonder what percentage the doctor means by "most", 51% vs 99%, and what difference that could mean.

She is NOT brain dead.

Now: Go watch the video clips, and watch her respond with her eyes wide open, making eye contact. Decide whether definition of vegetative state is accurate for Terri.

Are these video clips available online somewhere?

Frankly I am tired of reading your "sympathetic" crap.

YOU have a choice Partner! I suggest you exercise it!

10 days of starvation without knowing fully if the person is suffering???
Of course she will suffer, and FEEL it. I wish no doctor had agreed to do take this terible action. Awful.

[EternalVigilance]

Figures.

[Libertina]

If it were a dog, PETA and the libs would never let this happen
So on target with that comment. Only babies and disabled...

I don't get this. If she makes movements and reponds to people, how can the court just rule for her to die?

How did Terri get to this condition?

What does the Governor think of this?

[texasbluebell]

Kinda reminiscent of the Klaus von Bulow case.

It certainly is.

Right, so we can't try to feed her instead of deliberately killing her because we might accidentally kill her.

Tell me how that one makes sense.

And anyone else the liberals don't deem worthy of life... And conservatives are supposedly Nazis.

See post #204 and #121 ...

I really do not understand what the Husband's problem is with allowing this woman to stay alive.....

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

It only makes sense if the main goal is for her to die...which is obviously the case.

He won't get three-quarters of a million dollars...

I don't think God put an alternative feeding port in us, did he? Thus, if we are looking at God sanctioned aspects of life once one cannot feed themselves one dies in the God imposed course of life.

Really? What about all the elderly in the Care Facilities that can not feed themselves? Do we just not spoonfeed them? They cannot feed themselves. Should they just starve to death?

God have mercy on us all.

MSNBC has her brother and sister on now.

[EternalVigilance]

I'll say it again:

There is a murder in progress.

The Governor needs to dispatch 100 state troopers and a team of real doctors to the crime scene.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Maybe a will or life insurance? I don't know if she had either, but there has to be a reason.
