You know if all I had to go by was the autopsy, I might be inclined to agree with you. But I saw the videos.

I doubt at this point anyone will change their mind, but I have to say it anyway. There are many random motions patients may make during a persistent vegetative state. If you tape 8 hours of random motions, you very likely can edit out 20 to 30 minutes that look purposeful.

People for a long time were citing the balloon video as proof of her reactions. The autopsy proved that false, as she was cortically blind, and could not have been deliberately tracking the video. The other bits are the same, edited out of hours of random motions.

Who gives a shit about your medical diagnosis. Her family wanted to take care of her and her alleged husband had been shacked up for years with another woman. He should have let go and let them take care of her

So explain to us, why didn't MS allow doctors to examine Terri, until after he had her killed by dehydration? What was he afraid of?

If you are sure you are right, one would think you would allow second, third, fourth opinions, wouldn't you?

Agreed, and thank you for pointing out the random motions made by patients.

As to the point of brain size at autopsy -- many are attributing the small size of the brain to dehydration. From prior scans that I have seen on the web, it appeared that Terri's brain had loss mass (sorry if that is not the proper term) long prior to the autopsy. What is your opinion on this point?
