But unless she is flat-lining,

Oh, I guess you haven't heard. Terri's EEGs were ALL flatlined for her higher brain functions. She's got just enough brain cells left in her brain stem to operate the heart and lungs.

I've worked enough with electronic medical diagnostic equipment to know that movement artifacts can play havoc with trying to get good readings. Terri's behaviors, even if merely "reflexive", are inconsistent with a flatline EEG. Dr. Hammesfahr in an interview offered an explanation for the flatline EEG which seems plausible and consistent with my experience (Terri was fidgety, and motion artifacts were swamping everything else; turning down the gain to eliminate the motion artifacts eliminated everything else).

Any doctor who would accept a 'flatline' EEG from someone who moans when prodded ignores one of the major rules of medical diagnostic equipment: if the equipment's indications contradict clinical observations, don't trust the equipment.

Eyewitness's testified under oath that she follows them around and talks to them and is able to swallow on her own. The video clearly shows her following the balloon.

The reality is, there are many activists that want her dead, ergo they spin their way, we spin ours. One nurse said Terri used to sit at the nurse's station and greet the passers by. I can go through any nursing home and find 10 more worse than Terri. This all boils down to guardianship, since Terri had no living will. When Mikey took a concubine, he lost his spousal rights. Do you believe Terri wants an adulterer to decide her fate. We have gotten very technical here arguing over what the word "is" is,(remember that?). Well technically, Mikey is an adulterer and a bigamist. It would be interesting to see if he has ever claimed the new woman as his wife. Thats bigamy. Common law says you must claim her as wife in public. I wonder how many deductions he shows,etc?

you totally misrepresent the facts,she has some movement as we can all see her tracking the damn balloon.
There is also the testimony of nurses who have bottle fed her and spoon fed her.
Their testimony in sworn affidavit refute completely your pathetic rather crude staements.
