If someone wants to spend money on a brain dead human, how in the world is that a violation of the constitution?

I have to say, I am undecided on this whole issue, or have NO opinion...kind of.

I have question: I understand her parents want the plug pulled...does life insurance play into this? Are they [the parents] footing the life support bill?

If the parents are being forced to pay for the medical bills, THAT IS WRONG. If the parents stand to windfall off of a life insurance policy...THAT IS DISGUSTING...

I said I don't have an opinion...but I guess I do...If her brain is totally flat line...I think keeping her alive artificially is actually quite gross.

The parents want their daughter to live. It is the husband- in-name-only who wants to see her dead. He got a malpractice jury award about 10 years ago to pay for his wife's medical and rehabilitation. He did not used the money for any rehabilitation and from what I understand is not paying her medical expenses with the money either. Medicare is picking up the costs. He has gone through the millions and has not had to account for the money becuase of the crooked judges.

There is also a very good chance that he was the one who is responsible for Terri's condition in the first place. The circumstances around her collapse are very suspicious.

It's an interesting case and I hope you take the time to learn about it.

Terri is not hooked up to machines. There are no "plugs to be pulled". A feeding tube is like a port if you know what a port is.

Terri is not brain dead. Terri can swallow but they won't allow swallowing tests because if the world found out that she didn't need the feeding tube, they couldn't KILL HER. That's the bottom line. Careful or you will be labelled a troll sent here to disrupt.

After laundering Terri's money, she was put on Medicaid. OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE PAYING FOR HER CARE. The only likely LIFE INSURANCE POLICY would be held by her husband in name only who told Larry King "he wouldn't stop". Her husband starved his mom and his dad. It's like a HOBBY FOR MICHAEL SCHIAVO to starve and dehydrate people until they are dead.

Your facts are very wrong.

There is no life support. There is no plug to pull.
Her parents want her alive. The husband wants her dead.
She is not brain dead. She is brain injured.
