I don't know the woman, she could have been the biggest B**ch in the world before this. So granting her eternal life with our lord is somewhat presumptious, don't you agree? My position is she is not brain dead, she IS aware of her surroundings as evidencedby intereaction with any stimuli including pain. She does not have the mental capacity to make this descision such as Kevorkian's patients. What gives the right to another, to make it for her? If she were to pass away naturally then I would say DNR is a proper direction. That's not the case here. she is mentally challenged not brain dead. Buy your previous posts, one can sumise then that you are in favor of killing the mentally challenged?

She is way beyond mentally challenged. She can barely move. SHe can not speak. She has about as much quality of life as many other brain injured patients have.



Listen its a tough subject. I dont know her either. Let her live in that bed for the next 50 years...I really dont care. I just dont see how letting that continue is helping Terri.

Frankly sometimes I read about this case and while I am glad Terri can have a few minimul moter skills like a newborn if that much , I have found that the bickering is more to keep the husband from getting any estate settlement then anything regarding Terri. I am not saying you at all. I just get this feeling from many posts on this subject. What gain do the parents get out of keeping their child alive in this condition? Its hard to let go but next of kin has to be respected in this country. We are on a slippery slope as is..do we need next of kin abolished as well?


Sorry to get you angered or whatever. I just think there is a lot more here going on then the well being of Terri on both sides. Just my 2 cents.
