Well, sorry, friend, I see it as Terri being pushed down the stairs.

Do you have proof that can be proved in a court of law regarding this?

My problem is with the lynch mob mentality of some of the people trying to "save" Terri. Proof means nothing just wild and raw emotions ready and willing to override any law, including the Constitution itself, that gets in their way!

Much of the evidence that would be necessary to prove a criminal case against Michael is, unfortunately, presently under his control. Nonetheless, the fact that Michael apointed "doctors" who examined Terri less than an hour each before pronouncing her incurably vegetative would suggest that, at best, Michael is acting with craven disregard for whether Terri genuinely is incurably vegetative.

A diagnosis of PVS means nothing more nor less than that an examiner was unable to find any stimulus that would ever produce a demonstrably congnitive response. An examiner who doesn't look very hard for such a sign of cognition isn't apt to find one.

Why do you suppose Michael has restricted therapy and examinations for Terri, unless he wants to conceal the fact that her condition is (despite his efforts) better than he claims?
