"Mostly, all the abilities they always said that Terri had that she did not have Also, the sham they tried to pull with the "following the balloon" video.

So you admit they did have a video. So their interpretation of what was on the video is different from yours. Why does that make them a liar? Seems to me you throw that word around pretty easily. Anyone who disagrees with you is a liar."

Do you realize what you are saying? I put it in quotes for a reason. They took 4 hours of video of completely random movements, cut out a few seconds where her random movements are smiliar to the motion of the balloon, and submitted that as evidence of her tracking. Which we know know was impossible anyway and could have never happened. Also, if you look at the video, you will see that the person holding the balloon is following the movement of her eyes, not the other way around. But don't take my word for it, watch the video. It's a poorly executed ruse, however sincere it's intentions. Sometimes a truth that hurts is better than a lie that feels good.

"All the baseless accusations (read: grasping at straws) made about Michael Schiavo that there is 0 evdience for, and one could argue, some evidence directly to the contrary.

And of course, Saint Michael made no baseless accusations against the Schindlers. Riiiiiight."

Exactly what accusations did he make against the Schindlers?

"So people who don't believe others should be starved/dehydrated based on hearsay evidence are 'poor saps.' I see."

The "poor saps" I referred to are people who bought into all the lies told by "experts" who never gave a damn about Terri, but only wanted to squeeze some cash out of the Schindlers during a time they were extremely vulnerable and willing to try anything to hold on to hope, rather than accept what is unfortunately true. Feeding their delusion that she could respond and be helped for their own benefit, knowing it was very likely not true.

Obviously, they showed the 4 hours of video enough that you, someone not personally involved with the situation, knew there was 4 hours of video. Of COURSE the media, websites, et al cut the length of the video down. None of the above shows 4 hours of video of anything (unless it's something they're charging for).

Which we know know was impossible anyway and could have never happened.

Are you under the delusion that doctors know everything about how the human brain operates? It seems you are.

Also, if you look at the video, you will see that the person holding the balloon is following the movement of her eyes, not the other way around. But don't take my word for it, watch the video.

I have watched it and I don't agree with you. (Note that I am not calling you a liar because we don't agree. It's a shame you can't extend the same courtesy to her parents.)

Exactly what accusations did he make against the Schindlers?

Perhaps you do not recall that he claimed they were only fighting him because he wouldn't give them any money. Or perhaps you chose to forget that little tidbit.

The human brain is still a great mystery to science. Stranger things have happened than to have someone like Terri, with some effort, begin to do things they hadn't done in years. Christopher Reeve was an example of that. After many years and with much work, he learned to breathe on his own again.

Whether Terri would have improved or not has nothing to do with the legal oddity and immorality of executing an innocent person in a most heinous way based on hearsay evidence.
