Terri was terminated in 1990 when she was determined to have no brain activity. A feeding tube kept her alive. That is not how most people wish to be kept alive when they have no cognitive ability.

If you wish differently, you need to tell your family that you want to be kept alive, even though you won't know it, for as long as possible by any means possible. Put it in writing and your wishes will be adhered to.

"Terri was terminated in 1990 when she was determined to have no brain activity."

You asserted (in godlike fashion), "Terri was terminated in 1990 when she was determined to have no brain activity." That is absolutely ghoulish in its calculated mischaracterization by you! I think that's an alltime low for you. I wonder what will follow now that you've established such a low?

Terri suffered cardiac arrest; the EMT's restarted her heart several time on the way to the ER. But she shows in the videos made during the therapy period that she was not only swallowing on her won (And continued to because she did not asperate on the quarts of saliva she produced each day without being suctioned by nurses), she is clearly trying to move her head to follow the directions her then husband was giving her bedie the lake while she was in a wheelchair! Your desire to dehumanize Terri is astonishing only because I thought more of you, but not so outlandish when added to the horde of 'execute the useless' now infesting any Terri thread.
