I agree and I think she performed a heroic service to us all so that we could see what is going on in our country and change it. I prefer to salute her as a heroine.

According to Herbert's doctor, Herbert was 'almost like' in PVS:

Ahmed tried three medicines usually used to treat Parkinson's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and depression. He said the combination was meant to stimulate neurotransmitters, which brain cells use to communicate with one another.

Ahmed was hopeful for Herbert's future. ''He may fluctuate with the time, but the way he improved and woke up, we are hoping he will progress,'' he said. ''He was almost like in the persistent vegetative coma state, and suddenly this thing happened.''

I see at as we were given a choice, choose life or death for Terri. A choice was made that IMHO was the wrong one.

This diagnosis of PVS is being proven to mean absolutely nothing. Truth is, we in the medical-health professions do not really know what makes a person turn around in head injured situations. What seems to make the biggest difference in head injuries from my stand point is the family involvement and physical therapy.

There is such a thing as true brain death,and in that case, the autonomic (automatic) part of the brain eventually quit, thus both breathing and the heart stop.

"If he was diagnosed as PVS he could have been killed in the state of Florida."


I think the difference is that no one wanted him dead.

They've lost interest in the subject. Old news, and time to move on, you know.

I can't perceive why He does them, but I can guess. It's a warning...God will not be mocked.

Well if he had Terri's Doctor he would DEFINATELY be in PVS. Especially if Dr Cranford looked at him.
