That is some story about Marjorie. You have great info.

It goes to show you, folks better be careful about signing any right-to-die documents. They don't know what they are getting into, and also, they might chance their minds when they become ill or disabled.

A few years ago when I hung out here, last time they tried to pull her tube ( or did, that is) I had quite a collection of previous victims. When they pulled her tube I could barely function. I didn't want to eat or drink because of what she was enduring. So I had to leave the threads to maintain some sanity.

Anyway most of the names have stuck with me. It's not something you can easily forget when they do this to a human being.

Btw did you notice how on the Nancy Cruzan documentary transcript, the doctor just finishes "explaining" that she cannot respond to anything around her. And right after that the father says something like "Boy she sure responds to you" as the nurse talks to her and opens her can of feeding solution.

It would be funny if it were not so terribly sad. I think Nancy had lots of awareness and was sold down the river as a closed case.

I always think it is so important to know your enemy. And ours has been in the dark for some time now from most of us.

I'm seeing videos of Terri on tv, & while they show that she is not brain dead, there are better videos. I'm going to e-mail some media outlets, and give them a link to a better video of Terri.

I hope some of you will join me in this effort and pick out your favorite video of Terri, and send a few media outlets the link.

My favorite video of Terri is the one where she laughs when her dad reminds her of when she used to tease her mother, and roll her eye (Terri had "lazy eye").

If anyone wants to see this video, provided by bjs1779, which only takes a minute, visit:

Then go to Post #28 & click the link.

Keep in mind when Terri makes sounds, she is attempting to talk, but needs therapy in order to talk. Even without therapy, Terri can say a few words. Sadly, Michael won't allow her to have therapy.

LET ME TELL YOU THIS: There was a poster on another board, who actually started an anti-Terry thread, and after seeing this video admitted that it was compelling and that he never saw this video before.
