I was just thinking that given her joyous responses to the presence of her family, nothing could be more emotionally comforting to her right now than seeing them. She's alone, cut off from all loved and trusted ones in that hospital, and God only knows how scared/confused she is. If she still has enough energy to be conscious, it must be so lonely for her. It breaks the heart.
I've been thinking about that. I think Michael is a very controlling person, and may actually be getting something akin to sexual pleasure out of the power he has over Terri. I'll bet his current girlfriend is a very meek person who likes having someone control her life.
From interviews, the night Terri was found unconscious, Michael and her were having a big fight, so bad that one of her friends begged her not to go home after work. I'll bet Michael was already seeing this other woman.
No, they are liberals who consider Terri a useless eater, and want her off the planet,(it is overcrowded) and gee whiz, is she costing money from the taxpayers? This is the mindset, believe me. They don't think she has a good quality of life, so she should be "offed."
