The question is when we decide it's time to stand up, grow a pair, and be real men, instead of the spineless pusses we are.

I wonder what percentage of people are actually okay with pulling the plug here?

FR can be an echo chamber, but I think a lot of people in this country are in favor of letting Terri die.

Far too many have expressed their acquiescence. I think the percentage is higher than we would have expected perhaps a month ago.

For so many, it boils down to "I wouldn't want to live like that." (I had this argument twice with two separate family members over the weekend.) The problem is that the case is NOT about what anyone wants except Terri, and we don't know what she wants, so we MUST err on the side of caution.

I can't understand why people make it so complex. She left no written directive. Therefore, we keep her alive.
