This case has done a LOT of good informing many people about what constitutes "life support".

Since I've been reading all this, my husband and I have discussed what we would do if one or the other were to become so incapacitated. I had already decided that I would want to exhaust every avenue for rehab for myself or him.

His opinion:

"ALWAYS err on the side of life."

I married a wise man :-)

Yes you did. You know...maybe this is where we're going wrong in Terri's defense. Any of us could be in Terri's predicament right now. Besides educating us on the pitfalls of living wills, Mike Chiavo's attitude toward his wife makes us appreciate the good one's we're blessed with all the more.

It has been reported that she had engaged in a similar discussion and said something to the effect that she didn't want to be kept alive on tubes. If true, I respect the personal desicions that both of you have made.
