There is a difference between allowing a terminal, dying person to die, and pushing an otherwise healthy person into the next life.

Terri, with care, can live a long time. And not even really heroic care either. Just basic nursing care and a tube feeding. No biggie.

No biggie, unless of course you did want to die and nobody would let you. That would be Titanic, would it not?

>>>Just basic nursing care and a tube feeding.

And that may only be short term. That nurse, Carla Sauer Iyer, had started Terri on Jello back in '95 and '96 when she was in Palm Garden of Largo Convalescent Center.
