I think you’re very right. The media coverage was slanted against her from the start.
God only knows why the media wanted her dead, but then, I’ve never understood why it is always the well-off, comfortable, supposedly educated class who are so in favor of killing off people - including themselves. I think you’d find that most of Kevorkian’s clients came from this group.
Perhaps it’s because they don’t believe in anything, particularly in the future. They think that once they can’t go out and be masters of the universe, life isn’t worth living. And therefore they don’t care about other people’s lives, either, and in fact it sort of annoys them that “lesser beings” (meaning the elderly, the sick, the poor) want to live.
I think that Terri was actually a "test run" for future death panels. The media was constantly taking polls to see which line of BS the public seemed to be swallowing.
Just to let you all know - Jeb Bush had NO intention of saving her - HE signed into law a person considered vegatative could have food and water withdrawn from them. HE WAS VERY COMPLICIT IN THIS ATROCITY, THIS MURDER!!!
