Why should she not be given the benefit of the doubt? My God, what if she is in there? If there is any chance, don't we have an obligation to lean that way rather than the other?

Truth is, the doctor opinion is widely conflicting - many doctors have said she is NOT in a vegetative state and many more have volunteered to be of service in her therapy, believing they can help her. Doesn't she deserve the opportunity to try?

She hasn't been given ANY therapy!

Just a couple months ago, in July I think, we read here on FR about the man who suddenly began to speak after nineteen years of silence. He's now on the road to complete recovery and I bet he's pretty happy his parents stuck by him.

She deserves a chance.

How many courts have been involved in this already? Seems that she has been given benefit of the doubt and the family didnt prove the case.

Oddly enough, the only doctors Greer listen to, and Schiavo allows to see her, is the ones who think she is in a vegatative state. Hmmm, coincedence?
