St. Petersburg, FL (LifeNews.com) -- TerriPAC, the political action committee created by Terri Schiavo's former husband, has paid a $1350 fine to the Federal Election Commission in Washington. The fine was assessed after the group failed to file complete and timely reports. Now the political group's web site has been taken offline.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scans have shown near-normal brain activity in a second patient who is in a vegetative state, British researchers reported on Monday in a study that may show a way to predict who is likely to recover from the usually hopeless condition.
And they said a woman who made headlines last year by playing a game of tennis in her mind has recovered somewhat from her vegetative state -- suggesting the theory may be correct.

And the first patient is improving.
"About six months after we scanned her, she started to show the earliest signs of improvement," he said in a telephone interview. "She is now in a minimally conscious state. She is able to produce responses occasionally but not consistently."
So far, Owen said, it appears that people are more likely to recover from traumatic brain injuries than losing consciousness because they lacked oxygen -- such as Terri Schiavo, a Florida woman who spent 15 years in a persistent vegetative state and was allowed to die in March 2005 after a long legal battle.

$1350 would have bought Terri a working tv, repaired her wheelchair, and surrounded her with a few flowers and balloons to brighten her room.
Thanks for the good news.
