Terri Schiavo suffered severe, irreversible brain damage that left that organ discolored and scarred, shriveled to half its normal size, and damaged in nearly all its regions, including the one responsible for vision, according to an autopsy report.

Thirteen days of dehydration will do that.

No, it won't.

Is your memory failing you or are you just making this up?

But in the abscence of a living will are we to euthanize patients like that?
If so there are thousands if not millions of end stage ALS, parkinson's etc patients out there.
If she had a living will there would be no question. I have often joked with my wife that if I become like that give me the KCL.
But there was no living will and we had to rely on sudden remembrances of a man who :
1. successfully won a frivolous malpractce law suit, and pocketed much of the cash,
2.shacked up with another woman

MS was no Dana Reeve.
