however in defense of the people who think this case is not the same, there is this quote from the article.

As I noted above:

I don’t believe there is a sharp distinction between “minimally conscious” and “vegetative” especially with something as complex as the human brain. Such categories are man-made subjective classifications. Nor do I accept the characterization of Terri as “vegetative” since there were numerous people with impressive credentials on both sides of that diagnosis.

A valid point however by trying to equate the 2 you seem to be implying that if only they had held off on killing her this would have saved her.

I think we agree that no one in that situation should be killed. Despair is both a sin and a logical fallacy.
