She's not vegetative (see the video and use your common sense).
Her parents report she can swallow and be fed...and therefore may not need the machine at all...but her unfaithful husband will not allow it.
Her husband is clearly not focused on Terri's best interest. He has changed his stance radically after he had acess to a lot of money and he has not been true to her. If he felt compelled to leave her for this other woman...why didn;t he divorce her then and let the parents take care of their daughter that he no longer wanted.
So...clearly there is doubt, great doubt about what Terri wants...and in such cases you err on the side of life.
That's what Bush did...that's what the state legislature did...and now that is what is going to happen.
...and I AM thankful to God for it.
