When you love someone - really love someone you want to keep them alive as long as there is there is life. Terri is not in pain - she is not suffering from an incurable disease. She is alive. The parents love her and have hope for her. The money was awarded so that she could continue to live and possibly benefit from sceientific breakthroughs.
The one person who absolutely has no love for Terri is her husband. Do some research on this case and find what kind of treatment he has provided Terri in the last decade. It is criminal what this man has gotten away with. What really irks me is the way he claims that he is doing this out of love for Terri. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
I'm reading your post again and I am getting angrier and angrier..If you really love someone, you want to do what's best for them, not what's best for you. Would you want to live like that for 13 years? I want an honest answer.
