I dont' understand the 1 - 2 week time frame. If they deny hydration it will be a matter of a few days.

Someone also explain to me what the hoopla is about. It's easy enough with EEG's to determine if someone is brain dead or not. Personally, I have a legal document to disconnect me if I'm brain dead. What's the purpose of keeping souless cells alive and the cost and pain of others?

3-14 days. Some have lived the entire 14 days.

Apparently you haven't read any of the articles that prove that she is alert, responds to visitors, laughs, cries, smiles, and attempts to speak. When a therapist told her, over the phone, that if she didn't get out of her chair, they would kill her, she sat bolt upright and tried to stand up, with terror in her eyes.

Call THAT soul-less.

Souless cells? SOULESS CELLS? Are you God? And you're concerned with the COST????

What about the pain of her REAL family, who love her, when her life is taken away? Who are you to make this judgment? And for your information, since you seem to know nothing about this case, TERRI IS NOT BRAIN-DEAD!

DAMN the cost! She was awarded $750,000 for her rehabilitation, and none of it went for the stated purpose. Four hundred thousand dollars of it has gone to pay Michael Schiavo's weasel of a lawyer to try to HAVE HER KILLED.

The cost? What is the life of one of YOUR loved ones worth? Would you measure that by how much it COST?

I do, too. However, I believe that the brain and the soul are two distinct entities. Disconnect, yes, but don't starve me to death. Barbaric and ghoulish. <><
