That is why we have to get those laws changed! For your son, granddaughter and nephew and for all disabled persons!

Join a disability rights group. I suggest you go to Not Dead Yet's website, they have excellent resources. The press was very silent on the fact that Terri's issue was a disability rights issue. They called it a right to die issue and mislead many people. Read the Friends of Court brief filed by advocates for the disabled. It was not a Right to Die issue. Hell why do we need a Right to Die don't we all do it sooner or later?
