Forget the cost a moment. Having been a caregiver I can tell you there are worse things than death and that's the kind of unliving hell modern medicine can inflict in the name of treatment.

I have suspect some of those who troll the Terri threads are selfish bastards who don't know when to 'let go', suffer survivor's guilt, are inexperienced or refuse to recognize the point when treatment sucking away every last ounce of dignity, making the patient unrecognizable to friend or family and they to him or her.

My view is Terri's "dead" but her body hasn't caught up with this reality. There's no viable ethical argument, however, to starve a patient to death. So long as food, rather than artificial respiration or similar means, is all that keeps her from dying she should be fed.

She'd have been better off if she'd been killed by her original illness. Her parents are just as sick as her husband.

Why so Hateful! Terri is not unrecognizable to friend & family (only to the eyes of those who love death and her adulterous husband.)

Who are you to say someone else is better off dead!

It is your kind who will destroy the culture!

Have you seen the Videos of Terri obeying the commands of her doctor? How can the "dead" do what their doctor tells them to do?

Please go to her Web Site and watch her Videos! Go to www.terrisfight.org
