Your link has about 4,000 links. As I don't have the time to read them all, DO YOU HAVE A POINT?

"Your link has about 4,000 links. As I don't have the time to read them all, DO YOU HAVE A POINT?"

Hmmm...the first point I can think of in reading your response is there is much more to this case than people quipping back and forth without doing a great deal of research.
I saw you asking for facts from people and I gave a link that gives many facts.
You can read the links - or not - it's up to you.

There are many issues that converge here....what is the vegative state? Is it an exact science? Is it easy to misdiagnose?
This site is not very reassuring that the world's top experts can agree on terms (notice the section dealing with the "minimally conscious" state)

Another issue? The first trial concerning Michael's charge of malpractice.
Do you realize that in order to win that trial he had to make the exact OPPOSITE arguments concerning Terri's condition than he made later when he fought for her death?
The link I gave you should allow you to compare the arguments made at both trials.

Another issue....federal hospice law. Clearly violated in this case. As Michael argued in the malpractice trial - Terri was not terminal - that's why he said he needed money for her care and for her therapy (enough for a normal life span)

And these are just a few troubling issues - among many- about this case.
But if you don't care to look through the info - then don't.
