God bless you for your work to sustain the life of your son.

It is occurring to me that Terri in her severely handicapped state has done more to change the face of America than a legion of lawyers. Regardless of how this battle goes, many people will examine their conscience thanks to her -- and thanks to the noble people like you.

NH's situation w/her son and this Terri issue and abortion all together have just brought a chilling thought to my mind:


-what if a child is born or even becomes "vegetative" via accident, etc, at such an early stage that he cannot possibly have ever *thought* about much less SAID anything about staying alive in such a state?! What good is the idea of "Living Will" then? Would the parents have all control to sustain him, or would the PC police at the hospital say his life surely wasn't worth sustaining and "pull the plug" (even if it's only a feeding tube)?


Indeed, this culture of death really scares me!
