Her brain was NOT gone, and she was NOT PVS. Remember, PVS is no reaction at all. Terri not only reacted, SHE RESPONDED!

Will you set aside your 'videos' and your perceptions of them if, when the autopsy results are released, it is clear that her brain was indeed gone?

Don't get all hung up on whether she was PVS or MCS. The important thing is that, after 15 years, no improvement was possible: what you see is what you will always have. She was, in short, in a wholly stabilized condition. She would live that way until she died. Unfortunately, for Terri, she was so young when she suffered her brain injury that her body could hold on when her mind was gone.

Thus, she faced the very harsh choice of continuing to exist (as long as her heart held out) in her PVS/MCS condition or die. No other choices were present.

You are viewing your 'videos' with your heart, not your head.

It seems far from clear that her life, reduced as it was, was "harsh" to HER. Of all the things alleged or documented as coming from her, groans of misery seem strangely absent. It is surprising how many people, who before a catastrophic accident thought they could never bear living in a reduced capability, find themselves oddly positive about life even after it happens.

"Don't get all hung up on whether she was PVS or MCS. The important thing is that, after 15 years, no improvement was possible"

Hey and her "loving husband" made sure no improvement was recorded in her files, no nothing for Terri. No therapy,
no antibiotics, no light in her room, no nurses station,
no visitation (which was difficult but he did his best with the help of Greer). What did all the settlement money buy anyway? Perhaps lawyers to kill her?
Also your comment "don't get hung up on PVS or MCS", lets see, wasn't PVS used as a justification to murder the woman?
She was not in a PVS. Videos are clear on that. MS, Felos, and Greer used PVS to murder this poor woman.
