Thanks for the information.

Keeping Terri alive costs next to nothing. My son, with diabetes, runs up medical costs each month about 10 times what it would cost for Terri to be fed with a feeding tube, at home, and turned a few times a day by her parents.

When Karen Ann Quinlan began breathing on her own, her parents took her home and did this for her. She lived another 8 years.

The entire burdensome population in vegetative states in this country costs about 3% of the total healthcare dollars spent.

You don't hear these numbers from the pro-death side because they know it is a drop in the bucket to pay to keep people like Terri alive.
