"She is only not dying because someone else is keeping her alive with a tube. Give her a ham sandwich and see if she can eat it alone without help, then I'll buy into the "Terri is alive and vibrant, and wants to go shopping" thing"

lol, ok so if a person cannot lift their hand to feed themself they are "dying" and we should kill them? So let's kill all the quadriplegics in the world, hell, by that logic let's kill all newborn babies too, they are only "not dying" because someone has to feed them!

Being able to feed yourself is not what determines your humanity, or personhood. Besides, the reason Terri is still on a feeding tube is because her HINO has denied her ANY therapy for the last 10 years...she needs to be re-taught how to eat, etc. He will not even allow her to take a test to see if she can swallow. (we know she can swallow because she doesn't drool) Did it ever occur to you that maybe he WANTS her to be on a feeding tube, so he can be able to "pull the plug"?

I think you should send some of the material on this site to Larry King:

He may be a big pro death liberal but he also knows that a good scandal helps keep the TV ratings up. (Kobe is a good example of this.) And if this doesn't qualify than I don't know what does.

You can sit an discuss the issues of the day with a quadripelegic, they still have some fine motor skills, they are aware that they are here.Terri Schiavo does not have any of these things. Nice reach( a dang long reach given the circumstances)....but no cigar.

You guys still don't know the difference, you just want to roll out any old theory that matches your anger and hatred for anyone who dares disagree, and you still cannot argue the facts of the case, only the emotional angle of it.
