If there are folks out there familiar with this type of case, I wish they would jump in. If she cannot speak for herself, then certainly there should be someone who can advocate for her and help her and her parents. If she is being abused in any form, that is against the law. If she is not allowed to see her parents, then there must be someone who can find out what the law is in her county and her state. Heck, I'd be at the door of every rep in town to see what they can do to help. People have woken up after being in comas, and with rehab, they can do quite well. If it is a question of something sinister going on, then perhaps the DA needs to be contacted. I've done some advocacy for the elderly, simply because I was asked to help, and while the bureacracy can be daunting, it certainly is worth pursuing to save the life a woman.

Hi -- yes, this neglect and abuse are indeed against the law -- that's why people have been kicking and screaming especially for the last several months here on FR!

This is a terrible miscarriage, total FAILURE, of justice, has been for many years. Yes, people have complained to the authorities -- especially when her feeding tube was pulled last month and she was starved & dehydrated for over 6 days(!). After much outcry, many emails & complaints this is finally being investigated -- will see if can find helpful links if you want to pursue that aspect. Thanks for your passion -- Terri needs it.

As http://www.terrisfight.org says, "We are in the fight of her life!" This has been the most intense onslaught of evil, all directed against Terri. It is the "right to die" movement at it's ugliest.
