""What you said is garbage. She has been ruled to be in a PVS - that is not disabled.""

I suggest you watch the videos. Terri is not in a Persistant Vegitative state. She does not smile randomnly, but in response to a friend. She follows a balloon with her eyes.


""Conservative (what about state's rights? Marriage rights?)"
Polygomy is illegal. Michael Shiavo has a common law wife with whom he has two children. No insitution has the right to deny anyone food or water.


Dr. William Hammesfahr is quite credible. He was fined for overcharging a patient. That's it.

Also, there is a nurse who recently came out. She has said that she another nurse were able to feed Terri with a bottle, but Michael forbade it. Also, she has strong reason to believe Michael injected Terri with insulin.

The only person who has something to gain by STARVING Terri to death is Michael Shiavo.

Did you read the court decision? You saw a few minutes of tape - the tapes run for 4 hours - in the total of the tapes the movements you clam prove anything seem random and are not repeated.

You also do not know what it means to be in a PSV - you don't lay in bed like a coma (in fact a PVS is not a coma) your reflex actions are still there - just the cerebral cortex is dead. So someone in a PVS can open eyes, make facial gestures, move a limb, make noises, sleep and wake up. Such actions tend to make loved ones who view such things think there is consciousness behind these acts when they are random reflexive actions.
