>>Actually, Terri was responding to therapy.<<

Only in the minds of people who don’t see reality. She was brain dead.

>>Actually, Terri was responding to therapy. Then she was awarded a large sum of money and her estranged, adulterous and likely abusive husband decided he was better off with her dead. No “release” was granted, she was deprived of food and water at gunpoint.<<

No, she was released per her instructions to her husband. I, for one, don’t want the Government intruding on the instructions I might leave behind. Liberals are the only ones who want the Government to intrude on personal and legally binding decisions.

Your aspersions on the husband are mere projections and unproven.

And the parents didn’t get involved until the money was on the line. Some love, eh?

>>What plug are you referring to.<<

The one you imply in your comparison. The article speaks of a 2 month ordeal. The Shaivo case went 6 years.

>>No, I’m just not a fan of murdering the disabled.<<

Nor am I. But if someone asks for release then it is incumbent on the loved one to acquiesce to his/her desires.

She was brain dead.

Show us the documentation of that. You can't, because it's a lie.

Odd, even those trying to murder her never suggest that she was brain dead. Brain death is a specific medical term, a person who is brain dead is unable to breath on their own, this WAS NOT the case with Terri.

Here is a link to videos which clearly show that she was responsive.

Videos of Terri

No, she was released per her instructions to her husband. I, for one, don’t want the Government intruding on the instructions I might leave behind.

Where are those instructions? Do you have a copy of them?

And the parents didn’t get involved until the money was on the line. Some love, eh?

You have no idea what you are talking about.

The one you imply in your comparison. The article speaks of a 2 month ordeal. The Shaivo [sic] case went 6 years.

Again, you are wrong.

From the article:
The Beckners reached the bedside of their comatose daughter the next afternoon, the beginning of a six-year rehabilitation struggle.

And Terri's injury was FIFTEEN years before her murder.

No, she was released per her instructions to her husband.

Show us the documentation of that. You can't, because that's a couple more lies.

Michael testified in court, and told the press that was covering one of his fund raisers, that Terri was responding to therapy, and that he promised her that he would take care of her for the rest of their lives.

Liberals are the only ones who want the Government to intrude on personal and legally binding decisions.

Liberals are the ones who supported the government order to kill Terri, in opposition to her indisputable publicly demonstrated religious convictions.

Wagglebee hasn't said anything about Terri's estranged husband that hasn't been proven true.

Terri's family was involved with her from the time she was born. They didn't stop being involved with her, except to the extent that her estranged husband succeeded in depriving her of contact with her family and friends. Even so, they continued in their attempts to be as involved with her as they could.

Terri's family spent their own money caring for Terri, until her estranged husband received the money from his fraudulent lawsuit. When Terri's Dad asked him to keep his word and use the money for Terri's rehab, that's when Michael became adversarial.

Nor am I. But if someone asks for release then it is incumbent on the loved one to acquiesce to his/her desires.

That's a straw-man, since Terri never asked to be starved and dehydrated to death.

Terri’s husband was a murderous POS. Anyone who can’t see this is supremely dumb and naive. Or is in favor of killing off the innocaent. Terri’s family was constantly begging to just be allowed to take her home where they would take care of her

You are playing a game of pretend with the situation
