So is the will to live. It is innate. Our bodily movement demonstrates life and a force towards life. The body and mind or one. One cannot live without the other. Terri doesn't have to speak for me to see her will to live. Likewise, I don't have to communicate with a dog in order to see it's life force and sense a will to live. In Terri's case more mercy is given to a dog than Terri.
This is a sad day.. Next year when Bush pardons his Thanksgiving Turkey and I'll see that turkey's will to live and how Terri's life was less worthy than that turkey.
