Exactly. The feelers were out to find out what would work. Because we are such a hedonistic society now, the 'quality of life' smoke screen was the winner.
A substantial portion of the American public weighed in in favor of 'killing' her because they couldn't imagine having to care for a life that was simply a life; a life that couldn't contribute, couldn't pursue dreams, couldn't lust etc etc. They were deceived because each of us has the fear of "being a burden" on our loved ones and the fear of being dependent (which is my fear as well). So, in that context, her murder was acceptable. Of course this is imho only, but after speaking with many people, I'm convinced that is how it was viewed by many.
God bless this man and his wife. What they went through!

I've been cautioning people not to sign an organ donor card for many years. It can be a death sentence.
I absolutely agree with you. I call them the “clipboard crew” who roam around hospital corridors waiting for a diagnosis of “brain dead” so they can talk the grieving relatives into giving up their loved one’s organs.
“Doctors told Mr. Cruz that his wife would die within 48 hours, calling her situation “hopeless.” They recommended that the ventilator that was keeping her breathing be removed.”
Another case which shows us why people should not listen to the doctors.
” I haven’t the heart to tell her I won’t pull the plug either ..”
Good for you, and maybe you should show her this article from Life Site (but not your comment. :) ).
I recall the autopsy findings. There was nothing in there about her brain being mush. Even though Thogmartin made his pro-death views widely known, even he agreed that she was alive and had some brain function. So please explain how you could possibly know he was wrong.
Terri’s SPECIAL DAY. Thank you for finding this. Back in the day, we had some super duper death trolls who denied that Terri had any special days. Terri actually had more than one special day. They were held by cities or by the places who rehabbed her. She was doing remarkably well until the slug-bottom dweller of a spouse cut off all therapy and the Pinellas Judge were good with that cuz they’re evil republican sob’s.
