Terri was alive and well enough for her parents to take her home, even if she could not recover, who cares? The pro-euthanists go on and on about how one's life must be "productive". It does not matter to me wether a person ever even regains consciousness, we are not to be killing for the sake of another's ease. We all will eventually die - why hasten if?
I agree with you.
Does anyone wonder why there has been not a word of follow-up on the delivery man in NYC who was stuck in a broken elevator for 3 and a half days. Apparently he does not speak English, (and is not legally in the US) but I am sure that through an interpreter he could share his experience of suddenly being separated from food and water without warning.
Terri was not a dying person, whose digestive system was already shutting down. She was living in a certain state of equilibrium and suddenly had food withheld. We would not do that to an infant (at least in the hospital where I worked) and they could not feed themselves or talk either!
