i would definitely lose it. all those thoughts rattling around in her head, and she could not vocalize her own feelings...the horror...seriously.
but the difference between her and schiavo is that schiavo was BRAIN DEAD. no activity...did they say if this lady had activity on brain scans? i am not saying that i think schiavo should have had her feeding tube pulled, but just noting the difference.
Terry Schindler was not brain dead, but brain damaged. There's a big difference. Read some of the stories about the brain dead woman who just delivered a baby, and whose body was kept functioning until the baby's chances of survival were high enough. When she was disconnected from the machines, she died fairly quickly, which is the case when true brain death has happened. Because Terry, on the other hand, was not brain dead, she had to be starved in order to get her to die.
There is a difference of course, which is why I never linked this to Terri when I posted.
Still, Terri should have been able to live.
