We don't know that she is in a PVS

If a PET scan showed that she was in PVS, would you relent and let her die regardless of what you think of her slimeball husband?

No, because they change the goalposts of what they call a PVS to suit their purpose. If the glove don't fit you got to acquit.

[Travis McGee]

Depends on whose definition of PVS you are using.

There are "death docs" who have a very elastic definition of PVS, when their agenda is "right to die uber alles" for the "lives not worthy of life." and other "useless feeders."

Look, I have lived through the hard deaths of two loved ones...one through cancer (lymphoma) who got worse and worse. He lived three years when they gave him 6 months...and even though horrid, his last months taught us all a lot about love, commitment and the value of life...even a horrid life.

In the course of this, I saw things the medical commuunity couldn't explain and things that refuted their so-called experts. I have seen the videos of Terri and heard what those who love her say...there are other "experts" who refute the court appointed ones. So, it's not quite so cut and dry as you would like to make it appear. As I have said all along, in the absence of a legal instrument or true compelling evidence as to her wishes (meaning, there is no contradiction, no hearsay, and no loving memebers who deny that these are her wishes), you err on the side of life.
