All the dismay of those who wanted to see Terri at least have a chance at threatment--they are quite crushed. What do you want now?
The rumor that she may be getting extra pain meds was not based on folly. That's what they give to people whose feeding tubes are withdrawn, to see them through the ordeal. If it's morphine, that will also hasten the demise. So have me yanked for saying it, if you've a mind to!
But hanging around jeering at those upset is just plain strange.
