In which case, you give up your unnatural life suport, too. In this case, it's food and water. We respect your decision. Start now?

You are saying that she is able to feed herself and she is going to be deprived of this right? Or is she being force fed, which is artificial intervention? You can't have it both ways, either she has a feeding tube or she doesn't.

I'm not sure if I understood your brief statement. But you seem to be saying that anyone who needs someone to render assistance to be fed should be left alone and starved to death. if that is your point then what about a person with no arms or legs. Do we just let them die if they can not feed themselves?

Experts say that if Terri were giving the proper medical care she would not only be able to feed herself but she would be able to speak. Then we would know for sure what her desire is about living.

According to her father the video seen on TV is 4 or more years old and sher condition today is much improved. The court has issued an order that she is not to be photographed or taken out of her room. Can someone tell us why the court would issue such an order, even if her adulterous husband wanted it that way?

Do you suppose that there is more to this story than her husband's greed. I keep thinking that this is the fist step in saving insurance companies billions of dollars in the future because they will not have to keep people in similar circumstances alive.

As you know the courts corrupt the common law and sometimes completely ignore their own precedents to reach an objective. I submit that courts are responding to economic pressures and are not interested in Terri at all.
