These two items are contradicted by the video which clearly shows her to be brain damaged, but not vegetative, and the belief by many that she could be taught to swallow if rehabilitation had not been denied by her husband. This whole case reeks of decaying slime and any objective observer who looks at the video or studies statements by her parents or her caregivers would conclude there is another side that is being ignored by the court and the press. With the unresolved issues of her condition being debated, why not err on the side of caution and let her live in the care of her willing and loving parents? It's obvious that national anti-life and media forces are determined to treat this innocent women with less compassion than they give a convicted, cold-blooded killer. A very sad commentary on the state of our society today.
She already CAN swallow as evidenced by the fact that she doesn't drool, and according to the affadavits of nurses who cared for Terri early on, she was able to eat some soft foods and take some liquids until she was denied therapy.
"there is another side that is being ignored by the court and the press"
Very important point Dave, and where are all the "objective" observers asking, "why?"
