If you could talk with Terri and ask her to blink her eyes twice for no and she was able to do this enough that you were certain she was communicating with you, would you still want her to die if she told you she wanted to live? Remember nothing will have changed. She will still be "a turnip, and can't contribute diddly and will still subtract resourses and consume time"

Meaningful communication? Sure.
