No, I suspect the brain dead individual was saying... (do you get the point?),

So charming you are with the condescension. I'll go over it again: I doubt that she is capable of responding to anyone. If on the other hand she can respond, (i.e. not "brain dead") it is certainly not a given that she would ask to be kept alive through artificial means in an incapacitated state for another decade or two. Apparently it's hard for some here to imagine, but a lot of people would not want to live like that.

Imagine having the capacity to live, but not the capacity to communicate. It is not an unknown condition, my grandpa suffered from it.

Now imagine being surrounded by people discussing killing you, and them saying to you, all you have to do to live is say...

It seems that she is able to respond, and to the subject, just not able to complete sentences. One thing grandpa could say was DAMN... So when he struggled to say a complete sentence, he would often just break down in tears saying Damn, damn damn...

Now my comment that "I suspect the brain dead individual was saying was not condescension, it was stating the obvious to someone so wrapped up in liberal pc speech to miss the obvious. Brain dead people do not form words, ever. Nor to they sit up, or follow your movements with their eyes.

(Now do you get the point?)

I doubt that she is capable of responding to anyone.

So, if true that Terri spoke some words in response to being told she was going to be put to death, then it would be YOUR uninformed DOUBT against the FACT TERRI SPOKE.

So, who would win that one?
