Well said, well said.
If certain tales and trails are to be believed, Deborah Bushnell of the Felos Law Firm masterminded the strategy to deprive Terri of love and sensory stimulation along with all rehabilitation. Except for a few Potemkin exhibitions, they put her in physical and emotional solitary confinement. She was displayed with stuffed animals and flowers at her death; but in life, for years, they had taken those all away. In the last five years of her life, she was never once permitted to feel the sunshine on her cheek. There was no medical reason for that; it was sheer meanness.
Legally this strategy was brilliant: without rehab Terri could never get better; without love and sunlight and music and human company, she would get worse and worse, so their arguments to euthanize her would look better and better. Even if they lost their case to pull her feeding tube, she'd waste away and die for George and Mikey.
Morally, it's straight from Hell.
I can think of no other rational explanation for the Deborah Dethnell strategy of spiritual dehydration. Unfortunately for them, too much love leaked into the death cell anyway.
At Pinellas Park the face of evil was there in force, a palpable cloud complete with circling vultures. The good people secured themselves deeper in their Faith, the contrast as stark as it gets.
