Can somebody help me? My idiot lib cousin says experts from both sides DID look at Terri so the argument that she hasn't been given proper tests to make sure she is really brain dead doesn't hold water.

Also, exactly what's new here that is causing the court to reconsider? I can't find it.

See 1049. And Dr Cranford (I think thats who it was) disallowed an MRI test. He is the one who diagnosed her as PVS. He is also an euthanasia activist who believes alzheimer patients should starve to death, and that a spoon is an artificial means of support.

Minneapolis Star Tribune ^ | May 28, 1997 | Dr. Ronald Cranford, MD
<p>Just a few decades ago cases of brain death, vegetative state, and locked-in syndrome were rare. These days, medicine's "therapeutic triumphs" have made these neurologic conditions rather frequent. For all its power to restore life and health, we now realize, modern medicine also has great potential for prolonging a dehumanizing existence for the patient.</p>

Ask your idiot lib cousin if when a death row inmate is having a review of the case, do they slowly give them a lethal injection while the review is going on??
