You are aware, are you not, that there were more doctors willing to state that Terri was NOT in a PVS condition, most not allowed to testify, then Felos used, in court

Not any that had first hand knowlege or on hands experience. Sure, there were many who tried to express an opinion and were allowed to file briefs. Some seventeen or so filed amicus briefs, most through activist groups and many from out of state. I believe that they were deemed not relevant, and further, the Schlinders' did not raise this on appeal. I do know that even Dr. Hammesfahr, Shindlers' expert, would not state that he could restore Terri's cognative functions and agreed that Terri's cerebral cortex was irreparably damaged as did their second expert Dr. Maxfield.

And since MS has remember only recently, within the last few years that Terri did not want artifical means used to keep her alive.... hmmmm on that one.....don't you find it INTERESTING that she has been living in hell and managed to survive for so long--no comforts, no therapy, no stimulation, no TV, no music, no gifts, no flowers and no outings into the sunshine...by golly.....this girl has gone thru a living hell and it is a WONDER that she has hung on...much to the detriment of MS's hopes and dreams.

If she WAS PVS---why all the fuss the first three years while MS was trying to get rehabilitation money?

Day late dollar short is a troll. Ignore him. Lets get to work , there are great ideas being dicussed here. He is trying to distract us. Why bother wasting your time on this guy? He has nothing important to say.

I'm sure my nephew with Cerebal Palsy has permanent damage as well. Luckily, his parents (who are deaf) don't think of starving him to death so they can get on with their lives.

So why did MS prevent any of these doctors from even examing her?

It still comes down to the ONE doctor that Greer choose that made this "conclusion" you keep citing.

Obviously, MS's chosen doctors are paid to decide for murder.

Terri's doctors choose the opposite - even a poor life is better than a lingering death by starvation. And, of course, we hope that real treatment (instead of malpractice and torture) could yield a better life.

So, your much vaunted "impartial" decision comes down to one doctor's opinion.

Neurologist Dr. William Hammesfahr testified that a treatment he developed for stroke patients could restore Terri's ability to speak." (Uh oh...wouldn't want that!) Dr. Hammesfahr testifies he could restore Terri's cognitive functions

Dr. William Maxfield compared Terri's 1996 CAT scan to her 2002 scan and testified that Terri's brain tissue appeared more localized and uniform. "It tells me that the brain tissue on the [2002] study has a more normal appearance," Maxfield testified. Dr. Maxfield testifies that Terri's cerebral cortex is NOT irreparably damaged
