Do you believe that Robert Wendland should have been starved to death? He was diagnosed with PVS, and could operate a wheelchair and work with pegs and blocks, as instructed by a therapist. Google it if you need to. If you believe that Terri should be starved to death because she is PVS, and people with PVS can perform as Mr. Wendland, then you are hiding behind the PVS label, using it to justify killing.
That is what I'm talking about. It is basic 101, and until you have an understanding of right and wrong, there is no sense discussing it.
According to another CA case he wasn't in a PVS.
"Remember that, inDrabick, the patient in a pvs state *****whereas Robert Wendland was conscious although incompetent.*******

Not that same as Terri. It's interesting to note, this is a case about limiting famial decisions....MS took himself out of Terri's decision.
Of greater significance it looks like you've been suckered into believing a myth. Many of the Google search results indicate that a DR. Crawford declared Wendland in a PVS and also examined Terri.
Dr. Crawford answered the assertions, in response to an inquiry stating....
"As for the National Review Online article, I stand by my record. ******The record is very clear that I did not testify that Robert Wendland was in a PVS******"
Peach, you will also find additional info on the Doc's participation in Terri's case. He talks about the various testing done and which is more accurate.
