Show me proof that Terri is brain-dead. Not even Felos stoops so low to level that charge, because it simply isn't true.

Persistent Vegatative State. Same thing, and you know what I mean. Bottom line is, the situation is a tragedy. The poor woman has been laying in a vegetative state for 13 years, and the sad fact is that the circumstances of her life, her marriage, her family, and now her death are just tragic.

The only thing more tragic than what happened to her is the fact that a bunch of fanatics, on both sides, are using her lifeless lump of flesh as a banner for their cause. There are some people riding Terri's coattails who make me sick.

I beg to differ. You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.

I'll ditto that! Felos makes me ill every time he comes to mind. And he's not the only one!

She is brain-damaged, not brain dead.

Felos keeps saying she is in PVS, but like everything else he says, this is not true. There are doctors that have testified that she is not in PVS.

Why do you only believe Felos and his gang? and not the doctors consulted by Terri's parents, who also examined Terri?

That is flatly wrong in medical science and under the law. They certainly are not the same thing. People actually recover from diagnosed PVS in a sizeable percentage of cases.

Terri is not PVS. She is somewhat responsive, has obvious cognitive function, experiences both pain and pleasure, and is treatable. However, she has never been treated because her husband stole all her treatment money awarded by a jury and won't let her have therapy.
