Why not ask the question of yourself? Which would you prefer, your life or the afterlife?

First of all, my life is not like Terri's (the court was satisfied that she is essentially brain dead).

However, if I was conscious and had to live as Terri has lived for the last 13 years, I would not choose that (as my living will states). That would certainly be torture beyond reason.

The "afterlife" means something different to each individual. To me it means the spiritual Universe of God's creating. That is certainly more disirable than this seemingly flawed, mortal, material universe that human consciousness brings us.

Does that mean you should go and off yourself?>/i>

No. I do not think you can begin to live in God's Spritiaul Universe by simply killing yourself. As long as you have the means, you should try to learn and grow towards the spiritual reality that God has created.

As the courts have decided, it does not appear that Terri has the means to learn or grow any further in this earthly environment - it seems past time to let her move on to whatever is next for her.

Rest easy. George Felos has told us Terri is not conscious.
