The medical data I have read says she is vegitative.

The wishes os the patient should be honored.

Frankly, I really think you folks are making a huge mountain out of nothing.

Emotional hysteria is how I read it.

Sorry, that is how I see it.

Geez, wirestripper, you are the one island of sanity in this whole thread. Emotional hysteria is exactly what's going on here. Thank goodness most Freepers aren't like the folks on these Terri threads. These people need some therapy. I love how, based on no FACTUAL evidence at all, and after these Terri proceedings have been thru many courts, and reviewed by many judges, and doctors, so many here accuse Terri's husband of murder, say how they'd like to kill him, and speak with terms of great violence. You'd think if Terri's husband was a murderer, at least one of the many doctors and judges who have reviewed this case at some point, would have noticed that little fact. Also, if Terri is in some fashion cognizant, then at any point she could have been asked if her husband did this to her. She could squeeze a hand if yes, or nod or somehow reply. Why doesn't she? Because a good part of her brain stem is gone, and is just fluid. Terri's husband doesn't have to have her die to silence her, she's already silent. And those "broken bones". Terri had severe osteoporosis, which causes fractures in bones in those susceptible to this disease. I think most of the folks here need a shrink bigtime. Go ahead now and trash me. It's immaterial because I'm getting out of here. Dont' want a bunch of freaked out zealots for compatriots. I especially love how you turn on one of your own, Jeb Bush. Even he can't do enough to placate you overzealous haters. Yes, you guys are an unhealthy lot. Bah, and I'm out of here. Flame away, you guys are real good at it, and vicious to boot.

What "medical data" have you read?
Frankly, I think you, as in you and people like you,are good little sheeple and deserve the fate that awaits you.

The wishes of the patient?
You mean the "comatose" patient who can show emotion, recognise friend/foe, try to speak and who is now deprived of basic sustenance because her husband wants her dead?

And yes, all of us emotionally hysterical people,including the current Governor of Florida, are just making a mountain out of nothing.

Sheesh, try to educate yourself, even partially, on the topic before you post what I am sure is your unemotional considered opinion on the judicially ordered starvation of a non-terminal disabled woman in Florida.

The wishes os the patient should be honored.

She would have already died if she lost her will to live ---- there is no extraordinary care being given or that needs to be given ---- all that was keeping her alive was food ---- which is what all of us need -- and an occasional antibiotic. Nothing extraordinary in either. There is no evidence at all that she wants to die, her parents don't want her to starve to death, the only one who wants her dead --- is her husband (apparently her owner) who has complete say over the matter. And he has a lover of 10 years who is bearing him children --- and you can bet the lover wants the wife dead and gone. Plus --- there's always the insurance money --- if he divorces his poor wife, he wont' get that.
