I absolutely agree with you about the MRI. It has been argued that Terri has no cerebral cortex, but I say what's the big deal about confirming that? Especially with the new functional MRI. Give the family some peace. If it's the case that Terri could never be rehabilitated, let her family be sure of that.

Swallow therapy would be more effective than a swallow test for confirming ability to swallow. I found this thread in my travels, and it's very interesting just for the science alone. You never know when being aware of info like that may help you out one day:

I think you have the right idea to just make sure about everything before something happens that can't be undone. :o)

Terri swallows saliva all day, every day.
