The doctors say she is brain dead and so there really isn't a point in keeping her alive against her wishes.

It is my understanding that a person who is "brain-dead" does not move and respond as Terri does. I doubt doctors said she was brain dead.

I cringed at the suggestion of euthanizing people in her condition and the elderly (to contain costs).

This person she unfortunately married needs to get out and stay out of the picture as he does NOT have her best interest at heart all he wants is money.

God save Terri! I never ask for anything, so grant me this one wish, Amen.

Patients in persistent vegetative states move randomly and it is very unsettling to see. It appears to be normal movement, but it is random. Eight doctors have said that she is brain dead. How many do you need?
