Doctors say Schiavo has been in a vegetative state since complications from a heart attack in 1990

I am so tired of seeing this lying sentence in every liberal media news story about Terri. From what I have seen on video, she is definitely not in a "vegetative state"

Last night we prayed for Terri. I can't wait to tell my family this news.

I wish the words 'vegetable' and 'vegetative state' could be called a hate crime. These words dehumanize the disabled and the comatose, and opens the way for lawyers like Mr. Felos to disrespectfully call them such things as 'houseplants'. Disabled people and comatose people are not inanimate objects, and should not be referred to as such. Just because they are not fully functional does not mean they are not human beings.
