TERRI CAN'T TALK.....YOU CAN ONLY BE RECORDED IF YOU CAN TALK. SHE IS BRAIN DEAD. What part of this don't you people understand?
Give the FMRI, that will determine what her brain state is. Oh I forgot Michael will NOT allow one. I wonder why????
Oh boy. Let's kill the dead and dumb now, too. They're useless since they have no voice...
Bottom line is that Congress has a constitutional right to do this whether you like it or not. She may be being denied equal protection as the other courts have not reviewed this case. That is what they are asking for now.
Go pat yourself on the back, but this is legal and the right thing to do.
Absence of speech does not imply death of the brain. If that's the case, everyone in a coma should be starved to death.
Were you raised by wolves?
these are controlled responces to the stimuli...
Not brain dead. She may not be able to talk, but she sure can smile..
There are plenty of deaf people who can't hear, and plenty of mutes who can not talk...what would you do with them?
How about visiting your local home that caters to the elderly and metally handicapped that are in similar states. Shall we go ahead and pull thier tubes too?
Nor can she swallow. They have tried this by giving her pudding. She began to choke. And it's been FIFTEEN YEARS! No change! After 8 yrs. of therapy!! Give it up already.
She reminds me with the motor skills of a 6 week old baby.
Since she can't feel PAIN, then removing the feeding tube, she won't feel hunger pain.
(Freepers can flame me all they want. I'll just leave.)
This is not a factual statement.
As others have pointed out, she is still breathing on her own, she moves etc. The brain is not dead.
Really? I couldn't talk when I was born (and I'm pretty sure you couldn't either) but does that mean I was brain dead? Odd sense of logic you have.
