This is about the chemistry that one lone person may or may not have had with Terri.

Chemistry?

The one person that could actually help Terri and she plays the vegetable just to spite him?

Or because she doesn't hit it off with him?

Or the people at hospice drug her so she can respond because they want her dead?

Or her husband or someone working for him come in and drug her so she can't respond?

I can't make any sense of this.

Are you saying whe is going to risk having her feeding tube removed thus risk her life because whe doesn't like this guy?

And this seems like a reasonable explaination to you?

In her current condition she probably can't reason about "feeding tube" but she can feel and emote.

During Wolfson's investigations, Terri didn't get any significant therapy, at hino's wishes. He was stuck with putting her in a basket then concluding she was a vegetable.

This is not all that complicated.

This is murder. It does not matter how rational it sounds.

It used to be brain-dead was the only time we pulled the plug. Now, with Terri, brain dead allows someone to move, cry, make noises, etc. Who changed the criteria?

Also - now hearsay is enough to kill. No official written decision by the one dying - but hearsay from a husband who has another wife and children and has suddenly remembered she once said she did not want to live that way. Wonder why that never came up prior to his sudden memory.

What happens if hearsay is sufficient for life and death decisions? Look at the ease of committing murder in the future.

Precedent, precedent, precedent. That is what everyone is upset about. Don't you believe that this case will be used as a precedent for all future cases of pulling the plug?
