Her "wishes" absent power of attorney cannot be known. What can be known is that the was living her life, until her caregivers could not give her any food and water.

Sadly Frist has taken a position that seems to indicate that useless eaters can be done away with.

At least he brought forth the issue that her monster of a husband would allow NO updated testing...including swallowing tests, although she swallowed up to 2 quarts of saliva EVERDAY and had no problem, did not have an aspirator, EVER, in her mouth.

The Judge should have ORDERED all of the updated testing to be done (it had been years for Terri since any testing had been done, and ALL MOVEMENT therapy had been stopped by her husband for TEN YEARS prior to her death. He was a monster beyond measure.He did not even put her actual date of DEATH on her tombstone...using the date of her collapse as her death date, instead.

Frist, an M.D., was right to point this out, and out government was RIGHT to attempt to assure that she had received fair and just treatment. They were ignored.

But knowing our President flew up from a mini-vacation at this ranch, in an effort to sign the bill they got together, demonstrated to me, his heart, more than any other action he has taken. I love him for doing this.
