Thanks for the post & the ping. Not mentioned there as I skimmed through it is that it wasn't until 1998 or so that the FL legislature made a change so that hydration and nutrition would become "extraordinary means". Before that time, they were understood to be ORDINARY, expected care. That's the slippery slope effect at work.
Terri's fight website has good info, good links -- most powerful are the photos of Terri as she is right now as she responds to her mother. Keep up the good work, keep those photos in the forefront. Billboard? Newspaper ad?
My personal favorite is the video (Terri's cough) in which her mother is adjusting her pillow and fussing over her and Terri's enjoying her mom's attention.
Please Join Us In Celebration of Terri's 41st Birthday

When: Sunday, December 12, 2004
Time: 2:00 - 6:00 PM EST
