And Terri has endured total sensory deprivation, no pictures,no music....NOTHING!

Those are interrogation tactics used on POW's not frail disabled women.

I think you should send some of the material on this site to Larry King:

He may be a big pro death liberal but he also knows that a good scandal helps keep the TV ratings up. (Kobe is a good example of this.) And if this doesn't qualify than I don't know what does.

"And Terri has endured total sensory deprivation, no pictures,no music....NOTHING!"

"Those are interrogation tactics used on POW's not frail disabled women."

And consider that these amenities are not even denied to violent criminals in our prisons. These things were not denied by the court, they were denied by her "loving" husband who is charged BY the court to look out for her best interests.

A normal, healthy person going without environmental stimulation would at the very least develop withdrawal problems, severe depression or even a genuine psychosis over time. In treating illness, physical or mental, positive sensory stimulation plays a critical role. But Terri is denied even that. I would not wish on any of these people the kind of cruel treatment that woman has been subjected to, not even on the ones who seem to think that it is perfectly alright what is being done to her. They obviously don't understand.
