Otherwise, you are just yammering about what you claim to know

I know that people like you are blind to the truth. Any one with half a brain can figure out what motivates this man. Just read all the information about what he has done and has not done for Terri. The way he has treated her family. It really makes one wonder how anyone with any logical thinking powers can believe his motives are sincere. At least my analysis of the situation does not result in the murder of an innocent women. I said I lived near him I did not say I knew him personnaly. And it really does not matter what I think or what you think the fact of the matter is that this woman has a family that loves her and wants to see her get treatment. Her husband has only been trying to have her killed. She deserves to have her fmily who loves her be her guardian, not a man who only wants her dead.

I said I lived near him I did not say I knew him personnaly.

Like I said, you are just yammering and pretending that you knew his motives because you lived 'next' to him. Would you want her parents to make the decision if it were her husband who wanted her fed, and they who wanted her off the feeding tube?

Yes, if you read only one side of an issue, it does seem one sided. There is an equally valid side that says this woman has no quality of life left.

Yes, she sometimes tracks visually. Most times she does not. Yes, her parents can get her to respond, if they cause her what medicine calls "deep pain." Why would they keep someone alive if virtually the ony thing they respond to is deep pain.

If I was ever in as bad shape as this lady, I wish someone would do help me exit this life.

In RVN, lots of severely and non-recoverably wounded, heavilly pained Gis asked their friends to do the same for them.

This is two parents who cannot accept the reality of their daughter's death. It's very sad, but reality, and its acceptance, is always best.

You are right. This OH SO principled man, if that is what he truly is, should have NO PROBLEM giving Terri back to her parents to see if they could rehabilitate her.

And therein lies the whole problem with this arguement. He is so afraid of her "coming back" and having total recall that he will NEVER do it. Because she never told him she wanted to die if there was HOPE. ONLY if she was BRAIN DEAD, which she is NOT. That is what is consistent with everything she told all her friends and family. Not this!! Not Brain Damaged.

Won't that be interesting if God Willing it ever happens!!
