If that was the case why was she laid up in hospitals and a hospice for 15 years??
Are you trying to say that her care for the next 15, 30, 40+ years was all going to be taken care of by her parents??? LOL!
Yeah, her parents and 80,000 a year or so of taxpayer money!
Why don't you people get off your high horse and actually DO SOMETHING to back up your BS rhetoric?
You say life, any kind of 'life', is precious and must be 'saved' at all cost! You people were ready and willing to burn the Constitution and kill some sheriffs to 'save Terri'! Why don't you support socialized medicine and no caps on malpractice awards then? I guess thats not as exciting as rollin down the streets of Florida in National Guard tanks, eh?
It just says to me loud and clear two things.
The pro-life Terri fanatics are some of the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen and you are only concerned with 'saving' the rich while the poor get their plugs pulled and you look the other way!
All of you are in favor of economic euthanasia!

Nobody can be so ignorant as to not to know that. It was because Michael Schiave did not allow the parents to take Terri.
In-home care for someone in Terri's condition would not have been excessively difficult or expensive. In many ways, her care would be cheaper and easier than that of a normal two-year-old. Primary costs would be Ensure® or equivalent food, and diapers. Those things don't cost anywhere near $80K/year.
