So since we don't know what Terri would have wanted to do with her "right" to die, what is the way to proceed? Err on the side of life, or err on the side of death?

If you consider being imprisoned in a hospital bed, taking your nourishment through a tube, and being helpless to even move a finger as "life", then fill out your Living Will accordingly. In my own case, I don't consider such a horrible existence to be "life" in any way shape or form.
