Ahem.

You do understand don't you that dozens of doctors and therapists have attended to Terri through the years and that even the Schindlers admit she's PVS?

She's had four guardian ad litems and all of them say she's PVS.

Regardless, I'm sure that you, on the internet know better. Let's just agree to disagree shall we?

Ahem.

You do understand, don't you, that the Schindlers are not qualified to judge whether or not Terri is PVS. If not, please go back and read me previous post on the subject. I'm not qualified to make a decision as to whether she is PVS, either via the Internet or in person, so cut the sarcasm - unless you can point to a post where I claimed otherwise.

PVS is a label. Some group of people, over time, came up with that label, diagnosable through subjective measurements, and then claimed that it was acceptable to starve someone to death if there were so diagnosed.

Whether or not she is PVS is, in my mind, irrelevant. Whether or not she will ever recover to the point of operating a wheelchair and handling blocks under the direction of a therapist is also, in my mind, irrelevant.

It is not acceptable to starve Terri to death - regardless of whether or not she is PVS. No matter how many doctors diagnose her as PVS, and no matter how many times you repeat the diagnosis, starving her to death is not acceptable behavior.
