Long-term it will be the beneficiaries of the yet-to-be-passed Terri's Law. Unfortunately, like Amber Alerts and Megan's Law, someone is murdered before the protection is put in place.
It doesn't have to be so.
A person on death row is allowed to live while they exhaust every single avenue of law to over turn their conviction. I've never seen anyone (on death row) being put to death, and their case continuing on after the fact.
Why is Terri being denied this? The President himself should take guardianship of Terri and protect her life while Her case is heard/exhausted in every court. I just can't understand why anyone, her parents, can't be given guardianship if they are willing to assume responsibility for her care.
It's all about the money, America's God.
