Well fine, that's what you see.
But I would invite you to look a little deeper into the picture.

Terri's not dying, she's not PVS or in a coma, rather she's "minimally conscious". Her organs are not shutting down (except from the starvation process imposed upon her at the present), she is not suffering from the last stages of a terminal illness, etc.

The reason she hasn't recovered more has plenty to do with the fact that NO therapy whatsoever has been given to her for many years now.
She is held in a dark room with the minimum amount of sensory stimulation.
Nothing has been done to help her recover more of her faculties.

The woman who is recovering after 20 years in a coma, Sarah Scandlin,
was given intense therapy in the years before she came out of her coma.
Terri has been denied all of this, ILLEGALLY. It was the order of the court in the malpractice trial that all monies awarded go into a fund for therapy for Terri. Michael did this for a little while, then suddenly "remembered" seven years later that Terri wanted to die. That was after he met the euthanasia cheer-leading attorney Felos.

They shopped for a legally blind judge who has consistently ignored any evidence that would go against the foreordained conclusion that Terri is PVS and must die. And there has been much evidence to support the conclusion that she is NOT PVS, and could recover given the chance.

Well, I could go on, but you get the picture. I hope.

I have, and I don't agree.

All I see is many attempts to bring life and personality to what is virtually a breathing corpse. They stretch any truth and make up a bunch of anecdotal evidence that cannot be verified, to convince others that the courts are wrong.

It just is not strong enough for me to change any opinion that I have.
