I am sure anything proving Michael wasn't responsible will of course mean conspiracy for you.



If that is what you are sure of --and it works for you, then who am I to complain. :o)

Personally I have watched a person removed from tubes die. She refused to eat, refused food and water and tore out any tubes ....
She died quite peacefully..as she wanted...against the wishes of her family.

Also I came down on the side of Micheal.
I am in a similar situation. I dont want others second guessing my decisions....whether that is to pull the plug or not.

I am baffled by those who think it was immoral.
But found nothing immoral about pulling the plug in other cases....

I am still scratching my head over that one.

I guess I am just an amoral guy of fella.

'Pulling the plug' is a misnomer.

Terri was not plugged into anything. She simply had a feeding tube, as do hundreds of thousands of Americans in order to receive their daily nutrition.

I agree with you. I don't necessarily stand on one side or the other of this debate. I just get tired of the same allegations over and over and over...and over again. Let this all play out and accept the findings, whether they support, or hinder your arguement. I am just saying that if the doctor performing the autopsy finds no signs of Michael being responsible, then accept it. If he is indeed found responsible for causing this coma, then bring him to the justice he deserves. THEN, let us all just let Terri rest in peace and pull this neverending story off its support system. Good post, thanks for your points.

"I guess I am just an amoral guy of fella. "

Yeah you probably are that, and the person whose feedtube you saw removed and died so peacefully was not Terri. Hard to compare all the different medical conditions that bring the "feeding tube" onto the scene and it's true that sometimes when there is no heart beat and a person is kept alive only by machines, you just turn them off. Terri was alive and well, she just couldnt feed herself, not that they went out of their way to retrain her, doing one test at one time for 3 times is not Therapy. It's not retraining an injured brain to perform where the injured part no longer can. She was not given a fair chance for survival. With an odious husband such as MS and I say husband with loads of sarcasm, she had no chance. I'd venture to guess if he had not received a ton of money from and lawsuit that was settled out of court (always good to remember), he'd of given custody of Terri back to her parents and gone on with his life the way he should of done all along instead of creating this horror.
