Deny this:
Absolutely. Anyone that doesn't is in denial.
And if you understood that she is unconscious, then it would seem natural to let her die, wouldn't it?
Deny this:
No.
Another newbie who signed on to FR to post a vanity.
Dr. Hammesfahr revealed that Terri has at least 75% functional brain tissue and that the stories circulating in the media about a head full of fluid "only" are totally false.
Impression: The patient is not in coma.
She is alert and responsive to her environment. She responds to specific people best.
She tries to please others by doing activities for which she gets verbal praise.
She responds negatively to poor tone of voice.
She responds to music.
She differentiates sounds from voices.
She differentiates specific people's voices from others.
She differentiates music from stray sound.
She attempts to verbalize.
She has voluntary control over multiple extremities
She can swallow.
She is partially blind
She is probably aphasic and has a degree of receptive aphasia.
She can feel pain.
On this last point, it is interesting to observe that the records from Hospice show frequent medication administered for pain by staff.
I find it interesting that you signed up on Freerepublic exactly FOUR days ago. WHO are you? Jodi? a Michael Schiavo plant? WHO? I seriously doubt you are the "expert" you are attempting to make out that you are. YOU HAVE AN AGENDA!!
Just had my teen watch this and I asked...Did you hear Terri laugh? the reply was "I'm not deaf".
