"Look at this video of Terri opening her eyes very wide in response to a doctor asking her to open her eyes. After you watch this video I would like a retraction of your statement that she is "non responsive". As anyone can clearly see, she is NOT non-responsive at all, or a vegetable."

I watched the video carefully and I have to say I see nothing that indicates she knows or understands what is going on around her. A plant will grow toward a light or a sunny window. The soft voice of her mom may register on some level as pleasing much as a gunshot would have the opposite effect on her. I don't see what you're seeing I guess.

I do know that if it were me, I would hope and pray that someone loved me enough to put me out of my misery. I can't help but think it's cruel to condemn her to even another day trapped in that state. I think 13 years is enough.

Um...this video is of a man telling her in a matter-of-fact, clinical voice, "Terri, open your eyes. Open your eyes..." (and she does, very wide) "Good job, young lady." She is explicitly following the instructions of a monotone male voice, not the cooing of her mother. Are you sure you watched the video very carefully?
