Even people in my own VERY conservative, confessional church were unaware that Terri is no vegetable! Terri is more than worth it though, and so are every one of us.
As I said earlier, I believe people who want to see teri die are simply comparing her situation to some personal experience of their own (like having an elderly relative w/ alzheimers), and they feel a certain kind of guilt, but do not realize that each case is very different from one another. I had 2 relatives who were dying of alzheimers and the day they each died was a relief to the family, b/c we knew that was all they had left in them. However, we made sure they were as comfortable as possible in their final days, and even now I know the difference between their situations and Teri's.
