Terri didn't have PVS.
I know you believe this but it is willful ignorance. You have to believe it to support your deluded political stance.
She was most certainly in a persistent vegetative state. You have to belive that all the doctors and the judges are inhuman monsters to reject this fact. I know you do but you are wrong.
First of all, the doctors they used as "experts" were hired by Michael , his lawyer, and the judge of death. There were no unbiased doctors allowed to testify.
Because they never tested her brain waves, no one knows what state she was in. The PVS is all propaganda so far.
The autopsy will be able to tell which nerves were alive at the time of death and which were not, but they should have tested her before they murdered her. She could have been completely aware of what was going on around her, but unable to connect to her body without rehabilitation (which was denied her by her loving husband).
The brain works like that of a hologram. When one part of the brain is damaged, other parts of the brain have been known to take over. Granted, she was severely disabled, but no one knew her condition beyond that.
