"Terri isn't being starved/dehydrated because she is dying, but because she isn't dying."

That says it all! This would have been unheard of in years gone by....except in Germany.

I didn't originate the phraseology (forget who did) but it sums up things pretty well.

If you'd like to hear a musical summary of the case, visit A BIRD IN A BARREN CAGE (lyrics, WMA, MP3, and sheet music available).

Not quite. If she had a living will, this would all be moot, she'd have been dehydrated/starved years ago, no outrage at all. Like i said, this happens every day to people just like Terri. So why have we picked this fight? What about the people who can't even afford to remain on life support like Terri's? Why aren't we fighting for them?
