After an accident with an unresolved cause her husband gets her treatment, sues due to claims of malpractice, win a large sum calculated by her husbands claim to take care of her for the rest of her life, after settlement reneges, says she wanted to die under such circumstances, gets pro-death attorney, pro-death judge and she is starved to death by the withholding of food and water and a couple days before she dies, after countless stories of how painless such a complete starvation really is (by the same people that claim a death row inmate that feels pains for a few monents constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment"), the husband's attorney states that "Terri never looked so beautiful.
Please. You goal was achieved - Terri's dead, Michael's alive and you obviously don't give a damn. No one said she was necessarily happy but she showed clear signs of recognition in those videos from a room she was not allowed to leave or have the curtains open. She was worthy of life before the dollars rolled in and then betrayed by her husband and a multitude of others. If their was a living will this would have all been a different story but since there wasn't siding towards life, especially under the murky circumstances, was the right avenue.
