Terri's incident was 15 years ago on Friday. If she didn't have a will to live, who really thinks Terri would still be here? Terri has a strong will to live and she is alert and aware.
I'm still fuzzy on why Terri is being starved to death... isn't that what they did in the middle ages when people actually wanted to be known as barbarians?
I think she has a strong will to live as well. I was watching some show over the weekend that said that hundreds of thousands had demaned she remain alive and that the judge is listening. Keep freeping!

WND 2/26: Philly columnist (John Grogan) changes mind on Terri Schiavo
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1351529/posts
A Philadelphia Inquirer columnist who believes in the "right to die" has changed his mind about the Terri Schiavo case, pointing to "uncomfortable details" about her estranged husband that now lead him to side with the parents of the brain-damaged Florida woman, who are fighting to keep her alive.
John Grogan said in a column published today, "I no longer so blithely believe Schiavo's feeding tubes should be pulled and her life allowed to end. I'm no longer so sure her parents do not deserve a say in their daughter's future. I no longer am totally comfortable assuming her husband, Michael, who now has two children by another woman, is acting unselfishly."
Michael Schiavo has been living with his fiance Jodi Centonze since 1995 and has said he will marry her upon the death of his wife.
Grogan said he hasn't changed his opinion that everyone has a right to "die with dignity," but he believes that in the Schiavo case, the "devil is in the details, uncomfortable details that raise sticky moral dilemmas."
Terri Schiavo suffered severe brain damage in 1990 after collapsing. Michael Schiavo attributes it to a chemical imbalance caused by an eating disorder, but parents Robert and Mary Schindler believe he may have tried to strangle her.
Michael Schiavo contends his wife told him she never would want to be kept alive artificially.
But Grogan points out Terri Schiavo's heart and lungs function on their own, and she requires only a feeding tube that might not be necessary if she were given physical therapy.
The columnist notes Michael Schiavo, as her legal guardian, has forbidden any therapy.
From "Terri Big Eyes" video available at http://www.terrisfight.org
Terri starts out apparently asleep. A doctor wakes her to start his tests.
Doctor: Terri. Open your eyes up...
Terri: (Startled at hearing her name. She starts moving her mouth and fluttering her eyes, like a person who is just waking up)
Doctor: Open your eyes, Terri open your eyes
Terri: (slowly at first, Terri struggles to open her eyes, then turns toward the doctor, and opens her eyes a normal amount)
Doctor: There you go, good.
Terri: (then, either to show off(?) or wanting to perform well, she leans further forward toward the doctor, looks straight at him and opens her eyes as WIDE AS SHE CAN. Note the WRINKLES ACROSS HER FOREHEAD caused by her also RAISING HER EYEBROWS as high as possible )
Doctor: [now obviously impressed] GOOD!! GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB YOUNG LADY! Good Job.
THANKS to FL engineer who created this montage -- may these photos speak to the minds and hearts of all who see them.
I am still reeling from learning that an investigation of the horrors Michael Shiavo has put Terri thru was STOPPED by HIM refusing access to the investigators....I mean, the MAN who was the suspected PERP could STOP the investigation into HIS OWN ACTIVITIES>>>HUH?
He has ABUSED TERRI TERRIBLY, note
he has ordered ZERO physical therapy,
he is busy living in an upscale house, with fireplace, pool, mercedes and fancy van, PORKING his mistress or concubine with whom he has fathered two children, While Terri is paid for by MEDICAID.
he BROKE his marriage promise to Terri but wants to keep the promise to kill her which he REMEMBERED AFTER getting 1.2 million from a jury to be used to rehabilitate her! That's the ticket, take your mistress to visit Terri, taunt Terri, try to break her heart, keep her in the dark room at the Hospice, away from everyone while YOU live the good life.
he at one time tryed to prevent necesssary anti-biotics from being administered-to the point of taking it to court and being ORDERED to allow her to receive the medicine (heartless bastard),
he allows no gentle stimulation,
he REFUSES to allow her parents to place religious symbols in her room where she can receive comfort from them
he refuses to take her out into the Florida sunshine ( does't want anyone to know that Terri is alert, alive and responsive, don't cha know)
he confines her to a HOSPICE which is a place for the DYING and Terri is not terminally ill!!!
She laughs, she demonstrates sadness when her parents leave, she giggles with her father and last night DELIGHTED in her priest (who has also been denied visits to terri when Michael the monster is angry over something!)...and on and on....
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MICHAEL SHIAVO DOES NOT WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT HIS WIFE IS RESPONSIVE, ALERT, FULL OF FEELINGS, DEEPLY DEMONSTRATES A NEED TO COMMUNICATE (but of course is DENIED THERAPY...what kind of hell is this?) BECAUSE HE KNOWS HIS GAME WOULD COME TO AN END. A game by the way....the could END IN DEATH?
This has got to stop.
NOTE to Shiavo and Felos:
We are NEVER GOING to STOP SUPPORTING this wondrous human beings WILL TO LIVE.
You can try to break her spirit with your inhumane treatment of her.....but YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED. We are everywhere....and we are armed with LOVE.
And BTW-----since you plan to STARVE and DEHYDRATE her to death....why all the fuss of REMOVING the TUBE....just don't PUT ANY FOOD or WATER IN IT YOU MURDEROUS CREEPS! This is only about nourishment.............the TUBE crap doesn't fool anyone, anymore.

You really must see the captions that Jeff Rense has added to Terri's pictures as shown in post #1 by floriduh voter.
Middle ages you say...
It appears as though *Nothing ever Changes* or
*Nothing is new under the Sun* as the Bibles says.
The people who want to kill Terri are definately BARBARIC.
