I'm amazed and disgusted at the ignorance of so many people. I was trying once again to explain Terri's condition at work yesterday yet every last one of the adults never could get off the PVS or coma or brain dead hoopla. There is hope because the teens I taught last year still ask me about Terri and are concerned. I was discussing it with one of them yesterday after school and several came up to hear the news. Teens can be airheads about many things, but they are not closed minded and cold hearted as adults apparently are.

I am so glad you posted this. Good to know that the youth of this country are not as jaded as the adults.

It goes back at least 35 years to the collapse of standards in public education and morality. Who was it that said no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the people?

I suggest you print out the Florida starvation and dehydration of persons with disabilities prevention act petition and have those kids sign it, then send it or fax it to FRTL, as they are capturing these for the FL senate
I compare Terri's condition to that of a toddler, which helps people get that she's regressed to the point of not being able to care for herself or feed herself or verbalize her wishes very well.
It may not be technically correct, but it's closer than what these others say, coma.
And then it's easier to get people to see that you wouldn't put a toddler to death because of that condition. It's all I can think of.
People can't seem to understand brain-damage.
