Here is another take on the story.

The video clips are a farce. They contain video shots of Terri's known reactive impulses being fraudulently prompted by voice commands. As in framing the voice commands around events that will occur irregardless of what is said.

Who will pay for Terri's continued care? There never was enough money to properly rehabilitate her. The court established the cost for such treatment in Terri's case to be $9.5 million. She received a $1.3 million settlement, reduced by the jury because her own eating disorder caused her collapse and resulting brain damage.

The paltry sum of $1.3 was used wisely by the vilified husband. He sustained life in Terri long enough for the experts to realize that no miracles would be forthcoming.

Michael Schiavo decided to use the remaining money to insure a dignified remaing life and death for Terri. It was obvious that the Schindlers would fight him and that money would have to be spent on attorneys. He was right, it has taken ten years and because he did start with a cash reserve Terri has not had to suffer. He did this rather than allow her to be placed in the Medicaid pig-pens when the money ran out. Terri's parents are destitute and cannot afford to care for her.

Terri's parents want to pay for care of her. A mother on the forum that has a son who is tube fed says it costs very little to maintain.

Video clips a farce? You aren't going to get much support on that idea here. I think they prove without a doubt she's not a vegetable.
