There were seven doctors who have examined Terri and diagnosed her as PVS

Including Cranford, who said she has no rights.

I have another question

If
Terri can't think
and
Terri can't feel
Then
Why are Michael and Felos saying no one would want to live in such a miserable way?

Becuae that is how the husband feels. You can question his motivation all you want--and the specualtion has been rampant and almost libelous--but he was in the better position to know. Better than any one in this forum, certainly. The matter of law here is simple: when one becomes incapacitated the spouse becomes his or her advocate regarding medical treatment. Whether you agree with Michael Schiave or not; or whether he has been consistent or not; whether he has been true to his wedding vows or not; whether he tortures ants with a magnifying glass or not and whether you like it or not.
That is the rule of law.
