I heard those noises Terri was making Bayb. They were just that. Noises. Groans and moans.

Granted, they did appear to be in response to some stimuli, but only in a very primal way.

I wanted Terri to live as much as you did, but those were not words.

It's time to stop being so ugly to one another over this.

I saw Terri licking her lips with purpose, side to side, and swallowing in quick succession; both actions are not possible with PVS patients. That occurred in 1992 or 1993, while she was receiving therapy. In her medical records, there are entries regarding her learning to walk between the assistance rails. As soon as the lawsuits were won, her then husband stopped ALL therapy and even threatened anyone trying to give Terri therapy or assistance.

IOW, her then husband began a more than a decade campaign to abuse her via forced neglect. The courts in Floriduh ignored all of that abusive behavior and appointed Michael Schiavo to be not only her GA but also the one to determine what 'she would want if receiving food and water in the reduced quality life' he brought her to. But she was not in PVS and she was not brain dead. She was an alive, albeit in severely disabled condition, fellow human being whom the court system executed on the direction of a probate court judge.

If We The People let our outrage abate regarding Terri's inhumane execution, this will become common place execution for the severely handicapped and inconvenient. There is a proud faction at FR delighting in baiting and condecesion regarding the Terri defenders, do you admonish them also? Spread peace and love all you can, flower, but I don't have any intention of allowing my outrage to subside until I'm dead or this nation of MINE corrects that which allowed the heinous outrage to take place. It is in the same category as abortion on demand, and I fight the dehumanization process in every way I can and will so long as I draw breath and have means.
