Recently, another presumed “brain-dead” woman made news in Kansas. In a coma after becoming the victim of a drunk driver, Sarah Scantlin snapped out of a twenty year silence and began to speak. Memories are now coming back to her. By legal definition, Miss Scantlin’s life is valid. Yesterday, it was not. Was she ever in a persistent vegetative state, or PVS? She’d respond to questions by blinking once for no, twice for yes, but since she couldn’t speak no one was ever sure she understood the questions.

Dr. Lieberman concludes: “He (Michael) should most definitely be investigated as the perpetrator of the ‘incident’ that caused Terri’s collapse and her current condition.”

Desparate are we?

Sarah was never called "brain-dead, nor was she ever described as being in a "persistent vegetative state". She was, as stated, in a coma. There is a vast difference.

Furthermore, Ms. Scantlin was able to communicate with the medical staff with eye blinks. "One for yes two for no"

As to the investigation, the cause of Terri's mishap has been determined by a trial Court and jury, or are all of those jury members part of the conspiracy to murder Terri too?
