The truly disturbing thing about Terri's case, I think, is that no one believes she should have been placed in this position to begin with. The unspoken truth here -- the elephant in the room -- is that most of us who are pleading her cause really do believe that Michael Shiavo attempted to kill her on that long-ago night in 1990, and that, if permitted to pull her tube now, he will finally succeed in carrying out his devilish deed. That is the real reason why emotions runs so high in this extraordinary case. Read Tony Siriano's remarks about this here:

He makes a strong case for keeping Terri alive. It is hard to argue with his logic and rigorous intellect.
And FYI: Michael Schaivo does NOT have a living will. Isn't that odd?
