"I repeat my question: What do YOU have to gain by her death?"

I've been going through these threads and I still don't see an answer to your simple question.

Why should it matter to the other side if Terri lives or not? According to them she is a vegetable and does not have any brain function left. I want to know the answer to your question too. What harm is there in keeping her alive?

Our side has studied the evidence and come to the conclusion that Terri is alive, but brain damaged and it is very cruel to starve her to death. How anyone can look at those videos and not see a person there is beyond me.

Even though there have been doctors on both sides giving their contradictory opinions as to whether Terri is brain dead, I don't need one to tell me she is alive. Her eyes are alive and her smile is beautiful.

The doctors were telling me that my father was basically brain dead too, while he was still able to talk to the family. These types of stories occur over and over again. Doctors are not god, some just like playing god.

Some of Terri's nurses have testified that Terri responds and she has even said words in response to stimuli.
Terri's not going to win any awards for being brillant, but she is a person and she has the right to live and her parents love her very much.

Why is the husband so afraid of videos being made of Terri that he banned them? He and his attorney claim it is for Terri's privacy. They also say Terri is already gone; so what privacy is required for a vegetable? He sure didn't mind going into detail that a gynecological test would only be needed if Terri started having a foul smell. What husband would say that on national television about a woman he supposedly loved?

I suspect we won't ever see an answer.

I agree, there is NO harm in allowing her to live. I will continue to ask the Kill Terri-ites that question until I get an answer or drive them crazy. They can't help but think about it when they read it. Maybe one of these times, one of them will say to themselves, "You know, I'm working for no gain here." And they really are putting forth all that effort for NOTHING. You see, if we win and Terri lives, we gain a victory for the right to life. If they win and she dies...NOTHING. Who's the real idiot?
