>>>>I read somewhere that she will be sedated.

Can this be confirmed? Cause, what if she asks for food or drink? She can't be ignored, right?

It seems to me that by sedating her they are tacitly acknowledging that she may well suffer, right? If this is supposed to be peaceful, painless and without suffering, why is there a need for sedation?

Am I missing something? If she's "vegetative" and "unable to respond to stimuli", then why do they need to sedate her? Wouldn't sedation only make sense if she was aware and able to respond to the stimulus of starvation, i.e., severe cramping, stomach pain, muscle contractions and so on?

I begged the Hospice employees not to do this to Terri. If they didn't have the courage to stand against this injustice, to at least allow her loving parents to comfort her, and to allow her Priest to administer Last Rites. Hospice contact info.

NautiNurse says 3 police are in Terri's room. Officers of the law, who defend the innocent from bad guys, are preventing loving parents from comforting their dying daughter.

The last time Judge Greer ordered Terri's feeding tube removed (without ever meeting her), she went without food and water for 60 hours, I think, before the courts intervened.

60 hours without food or water would cure many of these right-to-kill advocates, and their frightened and gullible victims, imho.
