Is that pic really of Terry Schiavo "hearing the news"??
For many months the only footage any of us have seen courtesy of various MS and non- MS Media are a variety of pix showing her with eyes open, responsive to visitors, a smile on her face, but frankly, I have assumed all this time that she is in a vegetative state, or in a coma, kept alive ONLY by breathing tubes, and has been in that state for YEARS. Karen Ann Quinlan was kept alive that way for years, and by the time she was allowed to die, she was a virtual corpse, shrivelled up to half her normal size, and could NEVER have been rehabilitated to any form of ambulatory or even bedridden, invalid "life". No one was ever shown REAL pix of Karen Ann as she slowly wasted away,
only pix of her healthy, and much younger.
Are all of you SURE that Terry Schiavo could have a life someday IF ONLY she didn't have her breathing tubes removed?
Is all the emotion swirling around this story mainly a matter of the belief that her husband is a bad guy, and wanting to spite this bad guy, who may in fact have been the responsible party who put her in that condition? If her husband did something criminal to her, then let's prosecute or indict HIM. But somehow I think her condition is much worse and closer to terminal that lots of people who have taken this story to their hearts want to believe.
Correct, or flame me, if I'm wrong. Admittedly, I am not an expert on this story which it seems like we've been reading about for YEARS.
Well said. If she's "responsive" as some have claimed, let's see the damn videotapes, dated within the last month or two. I'm also tired of the ancient photos of a gaping, unaware "smile" being foisted off as some kind of proof.

Terri doesn't need breathing assistance.
She is not on a "breathing tube"
She is fed by a tube. What they want to do is starve her to death. You do that to a puppy and they put you in jail.
Terry does NOT need breathing tubes. She is breathing on her own. All her organs are functioning without articifial intervention.
She only needs feeding and hydrating tube to give her food and water.
She is NOT on "life support".
She doesn't have a breathing tube, she has a feeding tube. Big diff.

Terri does NOT have a 'breathing' tube. She breathes on her own.
There are no 'Breathing Tubes.' Where in the world did you come up with that?
Willy boy, you have finally come to the right place for good information.
Terri is NOT, I repeat, NOT hooked up to breathing tubes, only a feeding tube, which MANY disabled people use as an everyday tool to go about their lives.
Terri came out of her coma within the first two months of her collapse. She had been partially rehabilitated to where she was communicating with her caregivers. Simple communication, but communication nonetheless.
I can point you in the direction of many things that support these statements, but I am too excited to find them right now. Please keep watching this story unfold. You will be amazed at what the mainstream press has misinformed you about all this time.
To answer your question....no...its not. Its a old photo
She needs Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy among other things.
She's conscious and just needs nutrition. But the photo is not from today.
