Lots of "interesting" questions are being raised, and it may ultimately be in the public interest if some of these issues are revisited and subjected to closer scrutiny. Don't know if it will happen though. I guess it will come down to who has the most to lose by taking that risk. Could get entertaining once Terri was out of danger.

Absolutely. I'm surprised that Alzheimer groups aren't taking a close look at how a quality-of-life issue could ultimately be used by Gen-X'ers as the way out of the SocSecurity and Medicare crisis of 2020.

When I first heard about Terri's plight, I was under the impression she was brain dead. I had no idea how alive someone is in a Permanent Vegitative State. I wonder if Nova would ever delve into the subject? Someone should. I'll bet that a poll would show 75% or more of the general public thinks Terri is brain dead as in no EEG activity. 5 minutes of the video showing eyes open, smiling, etc. would change most people's minds.

Is there any progress by the Advocacy Center for Persons with Disabilities, the state protection agency for disabled persons? (See http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/news/7079354.htm , the Chicago Tribune 10/22/03 story).
