Terri may have made a remark when she was 20. Hell, I have said it. But look at Terri today. Her body is not in the stages of dying. She is not lingering. She is not being forced to endure the effects of a terminal illness.

.Her body has been in the stages of dying for 15 years now.

Terri's wish was for her not to live life like a vegetable.

Where was her wish to be dehyrated? Did she ask to be starved?

How do you know her wishes? What exactly did she say?

Says who, other than the adulterer Michael Schiavo, who, according to the testimony of three nurses assigned to help Terri Schiavo, refused to allow even rudimentary care of his spouse?

Sorry, that doesn't cut it...because she does not have the mental abilities you or the law thinks she should have does not mean she is dying. Glad you are not my next of kin...

What is the IQ cut off?

She is not a vegetable--terms such as that dehumanize her and makes it easy to call for her death.

Look at Terri. Look at her body. Considering she has not seen the light of day in five years and the lack of treatment & therapy her husband is responsible for, she looks damned good. I'd say her will to live is rather strong.
