"I'd say, using your assumptions, that if she wanted to live, she would be able to without help."(WT)

Your original comment is above. I then asked if Christopher Reeves and Stephen Hawking want to live because neither one, like Terri, can live without help.

In your last response to me you added additional qualifiers presumably because I pointed out the absurdity of your original comment.

I just responded using your terms and examples. To try to use Christopher Reeves and Stephen Hawking as analogs of Terri's case is absurd.
