Personally, after 15 years, I would be begging to die.

And yet Terri cried, when told by an attorney what was going to happen to her. She does NOT share your views. And since this is about Terri, and not you.....well......

Michael, remember that the US is a federal republic. The US Constitution was meant to regulate a small federal government, and the state constitutions were supposed to deal with these family matters.

Nevertheless, now that the big federal government has stuck its nose into the a state issue, a federal law will probably pass sooner or later.

"As someone who wishes for her suffering to end"

Earlier I thought she was brain-dead. Now it is suddenly in your interest to say that she is suffering. Dead people suffer in their bodies? Where did you get such biology and theology?

I thought of the exact same quote when the judge's ruling came down.

I don't think it has been removed yet, but the order saying it can be removed has been set. So, we should hear at some point it has been removed. I just hope that the Senators get this RO asap on judge Greer before they do this to Terri.

You've never been married, have you?

I am married, and honestly can't imagine EVER doing this to my wonderful husband.

BTW, I am handicapped. Thankfully, I have a husband who cares.

If "Judge" Greer isn't impeached after thumbing his nose at a congressional subpoena, I don't know what it would take. Congress can't impeach a state judge.

Greer is now in contempt of congress. I would like to see him arrested.

We have a legal definition of brain death: NO more brain activity. We need organ donors, and if I can´t recover, I will give others a 2nd life.

What an amazing story! I'm so glad you recovered.

"The fact that she is alive and communicates is evidence enough of her will to live"

Absolutely. If she weren't a fighter she probably would have developed serious physical medical problems long ago. I'm no expert but it seems to me that people who are incapacitated for a long time do.

Yeah, I saw that clown. What an idiot. He said he'd oppose a lethal injection for Terri...but that starvation/dehydration was a-okay.

This is a civil rights issue. Euthanazia is illegal.
