< His family says "no." Why shouldn't they get the same consideration that the Schindlers got? >

This issue is not about what the family wants. It's about killing someone who is clearly alive and functioning, but disabled. A person who is brain-dead and on a ventilator is not. Here is the distinction:

I am fighting for Terri because Terri is not PVS and can live "with a disbility"...NOT and I repeat, NOT because her family wants her to live.

A person who is brain-dead and on a ventilator is not the same thing no matter what the family issue is.

Bottom line is, I am not siding with ANY family here. I'm looking at the patient. These are 2 entirely different circumstances.

If the Schindler's had agreed with TS husband, she would have been dead eight years ago.

Of course it's about what the family wants.
