This is significant; what's happening to Terri could be happening to hundreds of patients a day, and the courts know this and reel from the thought that these rise up to clog the courts and inflame the sensibilities of those of us who are pro-life.

The courts don't know about these people. Decisions are made by families, and physicians.

If these decisions are contested, then we have a case like Terri's. Most aren't contested, because they are private situations between a family and a doctor.

I think the courts have an idea of the implications in terms of case load if these cases began to be contested en masse, as prompted by the spotlight shown on Terri's case.
