"Terri is not disabled. You may continually try to make it so but it isn't. Terri cannot function on any level other than to breathe. She has no cerebral cortex. For all ostensible purposes she is totally functionless other than to lie there day after day, year after year. If anyone thinks that is merciful, they ought to have their own cerebral cortex examined."
So what? Should she be murdered? Should she not have the right to live her life up until natural death like hopefully the rest of us? Should she not have the love and compassion of her family surrounding her? Should she be treated like the murders on death rows where it could take 20 years or more to finally execute them for their taking of other lives? Please think about this instead of taking an idealic(sp) approach.
Terri is a breathing, living human being like you and me. She is deserving of a life with her loving family.
"Terri is a breathing, living human being like you and me."
Well, not quite. Have you got a working cerebral cortex? I do. As you responded to my comments, I am assuming you have one too. Terri doesn't.
