No, the autopsy showed that her brain had been dehydrated in the two weeks preceding her death. The medical examiner (who supported her murder) even said that an autopsy cannot determine whether or not a person was in a persistent vegetative state, as that is a clinical diagnosis which must be made while the patient is alive.
Bill Frist "diagnosed" Terri as being aware the same way we all "diagnose" the talking heads on TV of being aware. By observing. Ironically, Terri proved that she was more aware than most of those talking heads, when she vocalized her horror at the news she was about to be tortured with a third round of starvation and dehydration. Most of the talking heads called that torture "euphoria." But you don't see them volunteering themselves for the experience. Maybe they're more cognizant than they'd like to admit.
I've found that those who supported and often participated in Terri's murder give the best evidence against their own position.
For example, Michael testified in court that he promised Terri he'd take care of her for the rest of his life. He gave a lot of testimony against himself.
What Terri’s murderers, their enablers and cheerleaders never grasped is that it DID NOT MATTER whether Terri was PVS or not. She DID NOT die from any terminal illness, she died because she was starved and dehydrated to death. It is irrelevant what anyone else thinks of someone’s conditions.
I think that Hillary Clinton is a rapist-enabling communist who looks like she was kicked in the face by a mule, but I still think she deserves food and water (though it should be served to her by a guard at a “Supermax” prison).
