The article defines a Persistent Vegitative State but presents no evidence that Terri is in a PVS.
I am deeply disappointed in Reason. I have never seen them put their Libertarian agenda ahead of fact-finding on an individual case before. They seem to be catering to their association with "EndofLifeChoices.org" ahead of reason in this individual case.
I have always respected and embraced the Libertarian mantra of "use no force" except to prevent the use of force, yet here they are condoning the use of force to end the life of a young woman despite the fact that tears poured down her cheeks when her parents told her that her feeding tube was being removed.

EndofLifeChoices.org I.e. the Hemlock Society... they got "smart" and ditched the "poison" name.

Yes, all of the articles report many facts except the ones that weaken their personal agenda. Its just too critical and too personal an issue to be tried in the media, and the best that could come of it would be for others to get their own personal wishes formalized before it happens to them.
