There was no doubt an upsurge in living wills and wills in general. That's useful. But the immediate condition of Terri when she was put to death is directly related to what happened to Terri in the past that put her in the condition she was in when the state ordered her to be put down like some useless pet. And I'm referring to more than the initial event which caused her collapse.
Terri's final brain condition was the result of a cascade over years rather than a few minutes of oxygen deprivation. Her initial trauma was truly severe, but she showed evidence of some recovery from that brain trauma as seen in videos taken during the first year or two after the initial trauma.
As far as I've been able to uncover, no thorough investigation was ever done to assess changes in Terri's condition over the many years her adulterous husband held her life literally in his treacherous, abusive hands. It is still not too late to look more deeply into the cascade of change that Terri went through and correlate those changes with what was happening in her life during each phase. As a writer, I've been itching to get at it ... but the effort is useless without her family's assistance and interest. It doesn't appear that anyone in her family wants to have that occur, so the effort will languish and her abusive husband and his hench ghouls will get away with murder by judicial fiat and national apathy.
Please don't feel that you are being snubbed. They have contractual obligations as a foundation.
Thanks for your post and stay tuned. Someday, what happened to Terri will be exposed and it will be by a whistleblower or two rather than her parents or siblings.
It may not be until after Jeb or his older brother term out and imo, it will be a bust at the federal level. It can't happen at the state level because they conspired and/or covered it up.
