Look at post 7. You can see the difference between a normal brain and Terri's brain.

It is pretty clear.

Question... Is Terri's skull thicker than a normal person, or is the picture of her skull a cross-section of a higher plane of her head, where the skull is beginning to round off? Looks to me (admittedly this is the first CT scan I have ever seen, so it is pure conjecture) that the two scans are not on the same plane. It may be irrelevant but I find it dubious.

Is anyone here claiming Terri is a Mensa candidate? There are people who have had most of their brain literally blown away who are nonetheless able to live productive lives even if they're not the smartest people around. I see nothing in the CT scan that would prove there would be no possibility of improvement if Terri were actually allowed continuing treatment by people who wanted her to improve.

Maybe every citizen should have a brain scan and those of us not up to par can be starved to death.

So in your in opinion it's proper to have decisions made for her by a man who's interests lie with his girlfriend and the 2 kids he's had by her, and to starve her to death?

True, but some are already talking about possible future benefits of stem cell research, etc..
