Terri has put nothing in writing. Her witness is a husband who has become engaged to another woman and has a child by this other woman. He got over a million dollars in a settlement which was supposed to be used for Terri's rehab. He has spent that money on himself and attorneys fees.
According to her Terri's family, she was talking of divorcing her husband. Her husband has also refused releasing her medical records. Some people believe that there is evidence in the medical records that Terri was abused. She was only 26 when this happened.
If you had nothing in writing, and this was your wife instead of her husband, would it be to her advantage to get rid of you?
If I am brain dead, I see no reason for doctors to keep me breathing.
However if I was 39, and could be helped, I believe I would want that chance.
If it was abuse that put me in that condition, I would want justice.
Would you?

First of all in case you havent noticed from my posts I have not taken a position regarding Terri. I dont have enough facts to make a decision. I have only pointed out an error in logic (recieving nourishment through a tube is not natural), and what I would prefer for myself.

Secondly; in regards to her husband, (he may in fact be an animal, I dont know) it seems to me that it would be much easier on him to have divorced her and let here parents make her medical decisions. Does he have anything to gain from continuing this battle? Blowing money on attorneys seems to be of no benefit unless there is still a lot of money left. Is he using the money from the settlement on himself? I thought that in a settlement like this the money could not be touched by anyone except for her care. If he can in fact use that money on himself then the settlement was poorly done, a legal snafu. As for the other woman, its been what?..13 years? His wife is dead to him.

Is it possible that he really is doing what he truly believes his wife would want?
