Isn't ironic that all these pubbies are changing their mind but Terri had no due process. Terri had no choice. She was exterminated Nazi, Germany style. Unauthorized experimentation was done on Terri (in California) that was illegal too, remember the metal implant in her head?

On March 18th, when Terri was screaming after she found out the g-tube was coming out, the cop in the hall said it never happened.

How many people on this thread would be screaming for their lives if they knew they were going to be killed? Every last one of them.

If the new republican party is not going to help and protect the most vulnerable among us, what good are they?

I'm sorry, but I'm confused by your post! 8(

Terri had no due process.

I was under the impression that this case was litigated for years, all the way to the Supreme Court and back? Have I misunderstood?

Unauthorized experimentation was done on Terri (in California) that was illegal too, remember the metal implant in her head?

Didn't her husband take her to California for this treatment? It could not have been done without his authorization as her next of kin, could it? And this was relatively early on, before the split between the Schiavos and Schindlers, wasn't it? So presumably even her parents were in favor of this treatment? I really don't understand where you're coming from here.

Terri was screaming after she found out the g-tube was coming out,

But I understood that she had no functioning cerebral cortex; she couldn't possibly have understood what was said to her, could she? And I know I read that she vocalized quite frequently, sometimes very loudly. In fact, I believe the staff left instructions for her TV to be left on all night because they thought it helped keep her quiet. So most likely the sounds you refer to here were just random vocalizations, don't you think?

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. This case just hits home for me, and I want to understand as much about it as I can. (Also, if you get a chance to answer my last question on the other thread, I'd be grateful!) Thanks for your time and patience! 8)
