Yes, the same passage caught my eye instantly -- "The boys and I and Andy's mother knew he would not want to live in a vegetative state."

He didn't leave a directive. "WE" knew. "WE" decided he should die.

Call me a teensy bit cynical but I'll bet Andy left lots of money to "the boys and [me] and Andy's mother." A sizeable estate is another fast track for getting taken off life support.

Cynical, huh? Money is one thing, parts are another thing, too. Consider this commentary:

When a person suffers a traumatic brain injury, more often than not, they're killed in the first few days. This is just my observation, not scientific proof. I frequently read articles about people who suffer traumatic brain injury, and are removed from life support within days. Presumably, if they were allowed a recovery period, they would eventually breathe on their own, but still have severe brain damage, requiring a lifetime of care, with little to no hope of recovery. I'm confident that if I suffered a brain injury, no one in my family would try to kill me during this time. But my observations suggest that most families would. Caring for a brain injured loved one requires more sacrifice than a selfish person is willing to make.

The death industry counts heavily on relatives and "loved ones" projecting how they wouldn't want to live on the patient.

The death industry is full of wordsmiths and psychobabble. Look at how they had the mainstream media handle all their propaganda for their re: Terri.

MSM, YOU WERE WRONG, DEAD WRONG! FV
