Care to enlighten all of us as to when Donald Herbert, the firefighter from Buffalo died? You know, the one who suddenly asked for his wife after 10 yrs. of drooling and being unresponsive in a nursing home.

They were two completely different things that were going on there. Donald was in a semi-lucid state and would talk every once in a while. Terri was in a constant vegetative state where portion of her brain was replaced with spinal fluid. Not much recovery going on there.

This little girl is also not in a constant vegetative state. She has a chance. Please give the Terri issue a rest.

I think that what happened with Terri was a big travesty, but mostly because the media took too much of an interest in it. This was a private family issue that should never have been brought out into the public.

(Also, remember if you are on the same side of an argument as Jesse Jackson, you might want to rethink your position /sarc)
