One what?

I strongly suggest you stop reading the rhetoric of the bleeding
hearts and read instead the history of the case according to the
documentation accepted by the court.

The issue of Terri's future is not easy, nor careless. If you're
a parent or married, you would place yourself in either the
position of her husband or parents. It is between them, that
the conflict is, not between groups of medical professionals.

The evidence shows that Terri's cerebral cortex is deteriorated
to the point that it can no longer support it's purpose. It leaves
Terri with nothing more than involuntary movements. That
was the conclusion of every physician that has examined her
and provided that testimony to the court. Three times the
request was made to remove Terri from that life support
system, and three times her family managed to convince the
court that more time was needed. 13 years! Is it long enough?

I suggest you read how the clergy feels regarding lengthy
and non-productive life support systems.

But I would more strongly suggest you read all the court's
findings; all the admissible evidence, rather than base your
opinion on the rhetoric of the believers of hearsay.

Thanks.
