"I think people are missing the point - even if Terri's brain function was minimal, it is not terminal, meaning, without artificial life support, she would not die. She merely requires the necessities we all require in order to live as long as the rest of us."
Excellent post, MadIvan. It is nice to see a reasonable voice in the sea of insanity.
Remember when premature babies were just left to die, with no effort to save them. It was useless to save something that had no chance, so people thought. Now we have wonderful healthy children where once we would have had a funeral.
Terri can still possibly teach us something. Maybe something wonderful to give life to someone else who wouldn`t have been able to in the past. Maybe she could be that person who defies the odds and shows us that the doctors were wrong.
I will always try to look at what life can teach us. Killing her doesn`t teach us anything. It only shows us at how little we have come.
Oh certainly, I want my body to continue living on even though my cerebral cortex is now a combination of liquid and scar tissue. It would teach the world such a positive lesson
Obviously, it's lost on me because I find this matter ghoulish in the extreme.
