The sick part of all this is that a life is taken because the parents didn't get the right people, not that they didn't have a case. There's something wrong with that.
Yes, this is the sad part. I think they're very nice people who were very naive about what they were up against. They should have gone to disability and/or pro-life organizations from the beginning. But, even if they didn't understand, their lawyer should have and HE should have sought advice from groups better versed in disability rights and right to life issues. Terri lost her fight the minute her "husband" got the malpractice settlement.

The piranhas of the law and the airwaves are overwhelming in their force.
And all but a few stood by and let them be eaten.
