How very, very sad. She has been in a vegetated state for 13 years. No quality of life. She may very well be screaming in her brain for them to 'stop the merry go round, she wants to get off'. We will never know.

I am praying for her!

Terri's response level on the Glascow scale places her above the level of vegetative or coma. She is aware, albeit she is severely disabled.

She may very well be screaming in her brain for them to 'stop the merry go round, she wants to get off'. We will never know.

We don't have ESP about these life-and-death issues, like George Felos does.

Felos is the lawyer for Terri's husband. He felt he could telepathically communicate with another woman (Mrs. Browning) whose death he hoped to arrange. He said she let him know, soul-to-soul, that she wanted release from her body.

He wanted to see Browning for himself. She could not speak, but Felos says his spiritual side picked up on something. He says her soul cried out to his soul and asked, "Why am I still here?" Browning died in 1989 of natural causes while the case was still unresolved, but the suit has had a lasting effect on the law. In 1990, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that a living will can allow caregivers to withhold food and water from an incapacitated person, even when death is not imminent.

I wonder if any serial killers will try to use this as a defense in the future?

"I'm psychic and my victim told me, through ESP, that she wanted me to kill her."
