It's quite simple.
cause of death= natural causes.
Until you figure out how to make a vegetible eat her vegetables.
How many times do I have to suggest reason, and rational thinking to people?
Terri is a veg. She can't THINK, smell, feel, she has no- NONE- sense of awarness. She cant- CAN'T!- swallow food even if mushed up and placed in her mouth.
She doesn't even know she's alive. She's nothing but a corpse, kept alive by forced feeding, simply because her brainstem still funtions and keeps her heart and organs working.
Watching the news, I see the press say "she's still alive, RESPONDING TO FAMILLY MEMBERS.
What utter nonsense. She's been laying in the same position for 15 YEARS! and has responded to NOTHING.
Why? Because her brain is gone.
Now, lets review the issue. Why should terri be kept alive?
Because, her parents want to keep her alive. She left no living will to make her wishes known. All they have is a hearsay statement which the court is using to carry out her wishes.
THAT is what this is about. It isn't because this living corpse is ever going to get better, or has any sort of life, enjoys anything, or even wants to be here. I sure wouldn't.
I don't even know where to start with you.....
I hope you don't ever end up being a useless eater, especially in Florida.
She doesn't even know she's alive. She's nothing but a corpse, kept alive by forced feeding, simply because her brainstem still funtions and keeps her heart and organs working.
And you are uniquely qualified to make these judgements how? You're a doctor who's examined her extensively? If she can't feel, why is she being given morphene?
Open wide and stick it in further. What type of spices make your foot taste better?
The priest who ministers to this "vegetable" that you are so contemptuous of, reports that she attempts to bow her head (despite stiff neck and we all know why that may be...) and that Terri closes her eyes when they pray together.
WHAT kind of vegetable humbles itself before God?
Her brain function in regards to spirituality actually sounds a bit higher than some posters here on FR.
What you would want is immaterial to Terri.
Spoon feeding would seem a natural thing to try, were it not forbidden.
Here she is a few years after her "accident". I don't see her "laying in the same position". And she hardly looks like "a corpse".
This picture was taken while her "husband" was screwing around with other women. After this picture was taken he threw her into a hospice. A place people die. He threw her away like an old shoe. Once he got some cash. Cheaper place to put her. He learned well from his insane lawyer who thinks he hears the voices of people that want him to kill them by starvation.
Terri is no more "dead" than a baby born after being oxygen deprived is dead when it cries and makes noises to be fed. Only she can't always make a noise and when she does, someone who profits by her death (husband, husband's attorney, Hospice) translates it to mean "kill me by starvation, it's such a painless way to die. I'm sure that's why Hitler used it in Nazi Germany."
I'll bet when you played "Life Boat" you were one of those who threw the handicapped woman overboard first.
I feel sorry for everyone who thinks that life is expendable just because the person living it is handicapped in some way. So what if she lived another 15 years. Michael got enough money to take care of her for an additional 41 years after the injury. He reneged on his promise to care for her.
He's a self-absorbed sadistic control freak.
But, since you're such a progressive thinker, you probably missed that nuance in the case.
I think, in the interest of kindness, we should all print this out and make sure it's available should Nuzcruizer have an accident - or get old and incapacitated.
I would want to sure he/she-it's wishes were carried out. Maybe we could all get permission to pull the plug together
Hmmm, is that a fact? According to several nurses who took care of her and who swore in different affidavits, she can swallow. They fed her jello and a few other things and she swallowed it. They did that until the lovable husband told them to stop.
Also, a couple of doctors pointed out that the human body produces several pints of saliva and sinus drainage. That liquid would have choked her if she didn't swallow it or spit it out. And she did not have an aspirator to remove the liquid.
How many other half truths are there about this ladies' medical condition?????
Wow, when did you examine her so that you could give us your expert diagnosis?

(Cut and pasted - not my typo's)
How can you make such definitive statements? You must be an expert on the subject of PVS. There are a few experts who have filed affidavits that contradict your statements.
Surely you don't believe everything you see and hear on TV without trying to apply some sort of logic. She was denied rehabilitation to teach her how to swallow - or does that not fit you "logic" so you dismiss it?
Then how does she swallow her saliva?
Disgusting statement.
She cant- CAN'T!- swallow food even if mushed up and placed in her mouth.
Terri was drinking by mouth and was eating soft foods before her "husband" stopped all rehabilitation. Which coincided with the malpractice settlement.
If everythng you say is true, then why has it been only in the past 10+ days that her body is near-death? All of her bodily functions were working fine before the judicial system decided that she's "nothing but a corpse."
"She cant- CAN'T!- swallow food even if mushed up and placed in her mouth. "
It is so tiring to see ignorant, uninformed misfits making fools of themselves.
Why don't you try to become informed about a subject before you post something ridiculous again?
Here's a start for you....

I don't think the doctors know for sure.
Why give morphine to dull Terri's senses and pain if she was just a 'living corpse'?
Why is Felos talking today about music playing in her room, if she is just a living corpse?
Makes me believe that until all medical professionals that have examined Terri agree, no one knows for sure.
In the meantime, the rush to starve this otherwise healthy woman which will cause her to die a most heinous death before her time is not in my opinion, natural causes.
