I pretty much responded because I watched that particular Abram's report and believe Abram's was a rather condescending advocate for Michael Schiavo.  The deck was stacked.

But, I've watched other news shows on the same network where the medical experts mostly came to the same conclusion:  Terri Schindler was in a persistent vegetative state.  She was not brain dead, the mark we mostly accept as the definition for death, but she was never going to come out of that state.

Since she was not legally dead, and food and water were deliberately withheld, she was effectively euthanized.

All the rest is argument over quality of life, i.e., whether or not some person's life is worth living.  In this instance, people argue that the personality was gone and there is was no awareness of self or others, so Terri Schindler's life was not worth living.  Consequently, she was put to death by omission.
