Exactly.

I still don't know which way I would go.

Does her family keep her alive, only to lose her years later from multiple organ failure, amputation due to decubitus, difficulties in dehydration and nutrition, respiratory failure?...

The ONLY thing I am sure of is that I thank God I have not yet been faced with this decision for a loved one. God made that decision for us over the course of 9 months.

Well --- every last one of us will die someday --- maybe years from now from one of those exact ways. Her family believes they see something more, they believe they have seen her respond in various ways to them. Michael believes she's nothing more than a carrot ----- so why doesn't he pack his things and move on? He's got a new family --- he can leave Terri to hers.

This point is mute because whenever any person is saved from one illness, they face the very same possibilities. We just do not control how we die no matter how so many want to.

In other words, do they act to create her demise or let her die naturally when her time comes. No brainer to me.
