Jodie Beckner was a top-notch college student and competitive gymnast, swimmer and diver at the time of the crash. Afterward, she fought her way back from an almost infantile state to become a woman as smart, funny and capable though profoundly changed as the one who drove up the mountain that day. This is ALWAYS possible when a brain injured person is surrounded by those who love them and don't want to kill them.

Unfortunate that Teri was much farther gone than this and a blessing her legal guardian gave her release.
I don’t seem to recall anyone pulling the plug on her after 2 months.
But maybe you aren’t making any equivalencies and I am reading something into the post here...

A few years back my husband received a phone call from a priest who he had met when the man was a seminarian. They had been in a mens' choral group over 20 years ago and shortly after that, we attended his ordination.
It turns out Fr. Rick had been hit by a car and when he came out of his coma had no memory. He had been looking at pictures one day and saw my husband, remembered him and called him with questions to help piece together memories of his past.

My DIL is going to school to become an Occupational Therapist, one of the guys with her in the program had a Truamatic Brain Injury. He had a PhD. in biology before the accident and he credits the OT’s for getting him back as far as they did and wants to be able to return the favor.

Gov. Crist, who was Fla's AG hugged Obama but "let Terri die" is now seeing his political capital shrinking. Everyone who harmed Terri is getting their just desserts and we haven't had to do a thing. That's how karma works or if you prefer the saying, "what goes around comes around".
Poor Charlie - a friend of the elites and those from all over the globe with deep pockets, the well connected; a killer of Terri Schindler Schiavo, Florida's current governor.
God help us all if he beats Rubio for Martinez' senate seat.
