Excellent point about Reeve. One can only imagine the condition Terri would be in if she had been the recipient of $750,000 worth of rehab therapy!!!!!

She could be feeding herself and possibly able to communicate in a rudimentary manner.

Excellent point about Reeve.

You can bet your life savings that "Superman" doesn't chow down on 1" porterhouse steaks! Anyone know how he is fed?

There are many other examples as well. How about this guy?

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking, travels around the world giving lectures! Say what?? He is completely paralyzed, except for 3 fingers. He can no longer verbalize and communicates with "grunts" that are 'interpreted' by an aide. Where's the clamor to terminate his life??? He can neither write a living will nor dictate one. Judging by his condition, I don't imagine he dines on Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Terri could eat if she were retaught but the courts have denied her THAT right, as well. The fiendish hubby and lawyer have even gone so far to petition the courts to allocate a portion of the funds awarded for her rehabilitation, to be used for her cremation!

Oh, and here's the best part, after the tube was removed, her pastor, Fr. Malanowski came to administer the Last Rites and was threatened with arrest for attempting to give her a sliver of the Eucharist. Reason? It is considered "sustenance". As catholics, we would agree but to deny a dieing person the last sacrament goes well beyond evil!

"She could be feeding herself and possibly able to communicate in a rudimentary manner."

And even after years of rehabilitative and sensory deprivation she laughs, she cries, she tries to speak, and she responds to commands. Never heard of a vegetable doing that, except for in cartoons.

Or she might be communicating with a computer through a straw like Stephen Hawking and writing best selling books about what it is like to be an abused wife and a speechless victim of attempted murder by her husband and a godless pro-death judge.

Excellent point. Michael denies her any rehab therapy and uses her worsening condition as the reason she needs to be killed off. I am still appalled by the number of people who pole vault right past the facts of the case and side with Michael so eager to kill her.

He needs her to be silenced forever - we need to demand to know why.
