It never hurts to mention the facts, which our MD has so far, ignored.
Terri was able to swallow. Nurses and care givers testified to that fact. Also there is such a thing called SWALLOW THERAPY. It teaches a person to learn to swallow again, if they can't. Schiavo stopped all therapy, including swallow therapy.
One of my relatives had therapy like that and re-learned to eat. She was worse off than Terri but was allowed to improve dramatically. Doctors do not know all there is to know about the brain and the body. They are not gods. The diagnosis of PVS is abused in many cases. The use of the word vegetable to describe a human being is an outrage and is used to de-humanize the person, imo. Studies have proven the diagnosis of PVS is wrongly used over 40 percent of the time.
