Dear Judge Greer,
Please allow Terri's mother and father to take her home and care for her. Please don't sentence her to a slow, agonizing death by purposeful starvation. She's a conscious, viable human being .. her body is not rejecting food.
She's NOT hooked up to machinery, she's NOT in a coma nor in a persistent vegetative state; she's disabled from a suspicious event and merely requires a tube for direct nourishment ... nourishment is what we all need to live .. THIS IS NOT ARTIFICIAL LIFE SUPPORT!!!! Please don't allow your court to be corrupted by this redefining of the language: A FOOD TUBE IS NOT ARTIFICIAL LIFE SUPPORT!!
She's both been a vehicle AND an alabatross around the neck of her "guardian," who's cohabitating with another woman and has two children. Though Terri may have been his main mission in life once, it's preposterous to believe that his sole purpose in life now is the protection of Terri .. he has a new life and family.
I URGE you to release him from his untenable role as her guardian .. it's fraught with conflicts of interest .. and please return her to her family to love and care for .. until her natural death.
If I was denied food and water, I'd die too. How about you?
God Bless You in this vital decision, which will be watched and noted all over the world. People are very involved in this case of throwing away disabled people, and will react according to the integrity, morality and ethics of your decision.
==================
May he truly grasp that he's being watched very closely -- all over the world. Prayers for Terri!! Fight, Terri, fight on!!
Wonderful letter!
I pray that Greer will receive the DFC complaint as credible and will wait the 60 days for them to finish investigating.
that's a great letter.
That is a outstanding letter! Thanks for sharing it with me!
