So....Terri didn't leave written instructions about being kept alive, but her husband and the courts have decided for her that she should die. Now, I haven't heard or read anything about her wanting to be an organ donar, but no problem. She's brainless, so what does she know? Why should 5 people be deprived?

As a matter of fact, why shouldn't death row inmates have their organs harvested before we kill them? Oh....I forgot.....prisoners have rights, Terri doesn't.

Prisoners have rights.

IIRC, the prisoners of some states sued for a more humane way of death other than the electric chair or gas chamber,I forgot which one. Maybe a case could be made that it is inhumane to starve Terri, as she lived a week the last time they tried to starve her. The more humane thing would be to give her a potassium bolus like they do the Texas prisoners. Since these judges and MS want to kill her, let them do it in a humane way.
