What were her wishes Dave? Are you saying we're supposed to take the word of a husband who changed his mind repeatedly as to what those wishes were?
And you haven't anwered my other question... are you now implying that mentally retarded people living in a worse vegetative state than Terri was are being kept alive as a "Chia Pet" for the benefit of others?
I reject the premise of your question. Any mentally retarded person would far exceed the capabilities of Terri Schiavo. Mentally retarded people are aware of their existence, they know what they want and dont want, and they likely know who their caregivers are. You cant honestly say that about Terri. You feel that she may be but your are not absolutely positive so you drape it in making a presumption for life.
