I understand but his condition was inoperable and incurable etc.....Terri is an adult, this baby would not have survived period, the lungs would not have grown....sometimes I think love means not letting one suffer as well if possible......

I think the most unselfish, loving act of all is to let a terminal loved one go with as much grace and dignity as possible.

I have to agree with you. This baby had no chance to live and the lungs were so poorly developed. I had a friend who's baby dies right at birth because the lungs were to small and not fully developed. In a situation like this I think there is a time to let go. I believe Terri's case to be different in that she canb reath on her own. Huge difference!
