Excellent point about Reeve.

You can bet your life savings that "Superman" doesn't chow down on 1" porterhouse steaks! Anyone know how he is fed?

There are many other examples as well. How about this guy?

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking, travels around the world giving lectures! Say what?? He is completely paralyzed, except for 3 fingers. He can no longer verbalize and communicates with "grunts" that are 'interpreted' by an aide. Where's the clamor to terminate his life??? He can neither write a living will nor dictate one. Judging by his condition, I don't imagine he dines on Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Terri could eat if she were retaught but the courts have denied her THAT right, as well. The fiendish hubby and lawyer have even gone so far to petition the courts to allocate a portion of the funds awarded for her rehabilitation, to be used for her cremation!

Oh, and here's the best part, after the tube was removed, her pastor, Fr. Malanowski came to administer the Last Rites and was threatened with arrest for attempting to give her a sliver of the Eucharist. Reason? It is considered "sustenance". As catholics, we would agree but to deny a dieing person the last sacrament goes well beyond evil!

What I don't understand is why we aren't hearing an outcry from disability/advocacy groups regarding Terri's situation.
