THis is the one; I couldn't remember which link and so sent you several. But as I was getting ready to go out, I remember which link.
The Wolfson report:
http://www.miami.edu/ethics2/schiavo/wolfson%27s%20report.pdf
"Throughout this painful and difficult trial, the family acknowledged that Theresa was in a diagnosed persistent vegetative state."
The family is not qualified to make a mdical judgement as to whether or not Terri is in a PVS. They are not neurologists, and have not received specialized training, such as would be found in a medical school, which would allow them to make a diagnosis.
It sounds to me as though they testified that Terri had a PVS diagnosis. Do you disagree with any of these statements?
But please stop hiding behind the PVS label. If a man capable of operating a wheelchair, kissing his mother's hand, and operating a pegboard on instruction from a therapist is PVS, then PVS is not justifiable grounds for murder.
