No, this is a thread about the facts, something some people on this forum don't want to know anything about.

And what do you consider facts?

There are some facts that you forget. It is a fact that Judge Greer discounted testimoney that showed that Terri opposed euthanasia- statements she had made to her friend about a Karen Quinlan. Because of the Judge's mistake in when the remark was made this testimoney was not allowed. Fact 17 neurologists have signed affidavits stating that they believe that further testing is warranted to determine Terri's prognosis. Fact recent medical findings about PVS through into doubt just how correct any diagnosis of PVS can be. Fact the Guardian ad Litem by trying to paint the Schindler's willingness to accept life saving measures such as amputation in the case of gangrene or open heart surgery if cardiac failure happens as grotesque efforts at life at any cost, forgets these procedures are quite acceptable medical practices. It also shows that the Schindler's are aware of future health complications which Terri might have and which they will have to deal with. Fact the agreement Michael offered of giving up monies was if the Schindler's agreed to allow Terri to be killed. Fact - Terri is not terminal. Removing her food tube is not being done because it is overly burdensome to someone who's body is shutting down ( as is the case in many endstage of a terminal illness)- but in order to cause her death. Fact- Dr. Cranford the neurologist is strongly pro-euthanasia- expecting him to give a disinterested/ impartial medical opinion about someone in Terri's state is like flipping a two headed coin- you know what the results will be. Fact - The accusation that Terri's parents stand to gain financially by her continued life is cruel and unfounded. She is their child- they believe that her life is worthwhile despite what the Culture of Death dictates.
