Photos of Terri at the memorial Mass, March 31, 2006
True and a good reminder. I meant that it was "on the record" in the sense of being court testimony. Michael's testimony earlier ("depressed" EEG) contradicts his recent "flat line" comment.
Above all, don't worry about it : )
Here's an article that asks would you like this to happen to you?

Thank you for posting the sermon from Friday's Mass. What beautiful words! It gives me hope that some good may come out of the horrific events of a year ago.
My oops. Not Father Pavone's homily but Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer's, Human Life International.
Excerpted from Homily: "Others like Nicodemus who stood up in the midst of the Sanhedrin, confronted the crowd of Pharisees and defended her honor forcefully: men like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Randall Terry, Fr. Pavone, Pat Buchanan, and my goodness, even Jesse Jackson!"

What a perfect choice of words!
Well, I did reply to the first one, but didn't know what best to say in response to the second, since I really have no way of knowing the veracity of the charges some have made against the U.S. A stated unwillingness to escallate 'badness' can encourage others to engage in it with impunity--clearly not a desirable objective, so I don't fault the U.S. for indicating preemtively that it won't do any such things. As for whether the U.S. in fact engages in such things inappropriately, I don't have enough real information to judge and I don't know that people who have access to accurate information are going to be in position to talk about it.
“Far from being an isolated instance, the attempted starvation and dehydration of Terri Schindler-Schiavo is typical of the denial of food and fluids in less publicized cases taking place daily in nursing homes and hospitals across America,” said Burke J. Balch, J.D., director of the Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics, affiliated with the National Right to Life Committee.
“For years, people who never asked to die have been quietly starved without much public attention, based on state laws and court opinions that permit third parties to make deadly decisions with little or no scrutiny or accountability,” Balch said. “The outcry over the Schindler-Schiavo case has awakened millions of Americans to the inhumanity of this practice. Now we must act to reverse this trend, and restore a presumption against starvation and dehydration.”
The proposed model law, drafted to be easily adaptable for each state, is written to be constitutional under the governing precedents of the United States Supreme Court. It would create a presumption that those incapable of making health care decisions would wish to get food and fluids so long as their provision is medically possible, would not itself hasten death, and can be digested or absorbed so as to sustain life.
The presumption would not apply if the person has specifically authorized withholding or withdrawal in an applicable legal document (advance directive).
“We must not let the horror and outrage over the attempted starvation and dehydration of Terri Schindler-Schiavo dwindle and die away before we have acted to secure protection for the thousands facing s similar fate,” said NRLC Executive Director David N. O’Steen, Ph.D.
Terri Schiavo: April 02, 2006
Depressed about what they did to Terri Schiavo?
America broke my heart last year. And I just came to doubt whether any political conversation could ever matter again. I gave everything I had in me as a blogger to trying to convince people that "where there is doubt as to what a person would want, err on the side of life" and American yawned.Many have expressed sentiments similar to the quote above. This might help: read how Bobby Schindler, Paul O'Donnell and Terri's father are responding.I entered the deepest and most long-lasting depression of my life and am still clawing my way out of it. The memory of so much effort and passion and tears in the faces of such anger and ugliness still haunts me.

Terri on the road to recovery before the second stage began.
Thanks for the reference to Sophie. I found a movie reference, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426578/ and looks like there is a DVD.
The White Rose, a fitting symbol for Sophie, a fitting symbol for Terri.
