Disability rights activist Rus Cooper-Dowda, who had once been diagnosed as being in a "persistent vegetative state," shares her perspective on the Terri Schiavo case.

Cooper-Dowda was in the hospital listening to the nurses talk about unplugging her, and she tried to letters with her hand, but they would sedate her.

The case of Hugh Finn is very simular to Terri's only his wife was successful.
His chid and mother-in-law and parents wanted the feeding tube left in but the courts sided with his wife.

Another sad case.
