So work to change legislation so we can keep people alive on machines and feeding tubes indefinitely.

The HINO put her on the tube to save money, she was eating fine. She could eat just fine all over again if the HINO hadn't barred physical therapy. There's nothing in current law that prevents her being left alive. Only the obstinate, murderous selfishness of the HINO and the psychotic power-play of Greer are preventing that.

Terry couldn't eat in the HOSPITAL, for crying out loud.

Have you ever read even ONE court document?

The fallacies surrounding this case have gotten into people's DNA or something. I've never seen Freepers this ignorant. You used to all do research and read. Well, read, dammit. Read court documents and transcripts. Do you want the links?

There has been this amazing story in the Irish news this week about an Irish guy who suffered three strokes after an ex-girlfriend hit him in the head with a bottle on New Years Eve five years ago.

He went from being a healthy guy, to being in a practically vegatative state - with a feeding tube. Doctors told his parents he would never be any better etc., and even suggested he should be allowed to die. His parents were having none of it, and spent thousands trying to get him therapy.

They sent him to CHINA. Three months on, he's now WALKING with a stick - all from the therapy etc.

When I read it, I couldn't get Terri out of my head.

"Only the obstinate, murderous selfishness of the HINO and the psychotic power-play of Greer are preventing that."

A thousand times amen.
