Listen, I'm not going to debate you about your son. But your son gets to live with you, he doesn't have strangers taking care of him 24/7. Your son is disabled, he's not in a vegetative state like Teri...the situations are not the same. I saw pictures of your son at the rodeo. Teri cannot do that, can she? Would you want to live 13 years the way Teri lives. I want an honest answer.

Then that's your choice. I can't imagine anybody saying that, though. I think it's dishonest. You would want to put your family through all that? Really? I wouldn't. I choose life for the living.

Why is Teri in a facility?
She could be home with her folks if they had guardianship.

I am not going to speculate on the unknown of how my life will end.

I live each day the best I can in accordance to my Catholic faith.

Suffering to me may not have the same meaning as it does to you.

If Teri was at home being cared for by her parents she could go to a rodeo too.
