What "medical data" have you read?
Frankly, I think you, as in you and people like you,are good little sheeple and deserve the fate that awaits you.

The wishes of the patient?
You mean the "comatose" patient who can show emotion, recognise friend/foe, try to speak and who is now deprived of basic sustenance because her husband wants her dead?

And yes, all of us emotionally hysterical people,including the current Governor of Florida, are just making a mountain out of nothing.

Sheesh, try to educate yourself, even partially, on the topic before you post what I am sure is your unemotional considered opinion on the judicially ordered starvation of a non-terminal disabled woman in Florida.

OK Mom, I'm gonna have to give you a small piece of my mind.(for what good, I do not know)

"Vegetative" is a medical term. She has been in that state for thirteen years while her parents have fought this decision.

She has been dead for thirteen years. That little bit of grey matter that she is using is the same stuff a baby uses in the womb and even it is apparently damaged.

There is no Terri. There has not been one for thirteen long years and the only reason her body is alive is due to medical intervention. All this baloney about her trying to talk and recognizing faces is emotional hope and failed wishes.

This sort of thing happens every day in nearly every hospital on the planet. Usually it is settled and done within days or weeks and the loss is mourned, the funeral held and the body is lay-ed to rest.

But, not here. Oh no!

For thirteen years they have kept this body with less ability than a common garden snail in this bed as they fight in the courts.

It is insanity. It is wrong! It is stupid human crap that is not based on any reasoned explanation.

Let her go.
