Comatose? Since when it she comatose? Did I miss something?

This whole affair is sickening.

Apparently the new definition of 'vegetative state' and 'comotose' is anyone who can't swallow food.

Of course in this case - Terry might even be able to swallow food on her own, but they don't and won't know because her husband refused to have the tests done to find out and no one will be allowed to even try to feed her by mouth.

God help us.

Sam Donaldson was disgusting this morning. Caller after caller saying "well if the Doctors say she's better off dead, then I guess it's for the best." Sam better watch it... he's kind of getting up there himself. He's just s atroke away from his own euthanazia.

She's NOT comatose. She responds to her family (when they are allowed to visit) and can follow instructions given by a doctor (like "open your eyes"). Her website has it all on video. Her husband has refused to provide her with any sort of therapy.

This is murder, nothing less.

That's what makes me so...(biting tongue)...mad about this whole affair -- the media is leading people to believe that she's comatose. She's not.

I literally have been screaming at the radio in my car today while making hospital visits -- I'm sick of hearing the words "comatose," "near comatose" and "vegetative" when dealing with Terri (a human being). How any judge could watch a video of her and determine that she should be starved to death is beyond me.

The doctors in this case have moved from the preservation of life to the way of death. We'd need to take a stand now, or it's just going to get worse.
