You know, if a prisoner on death row becomes mentally incompetnet, the death sentence is commuted because he wouldn't understand why he is being put to death..here Terri who is brain damaged is given less consideration.
I hope the family of Terri can get an investigation and maybe charge MS and all his cohorts with murder.

It will never happen. This is OUR fault for letting society get to the point where these decisions are even debated.
I've said it before, It would be one thing if some sort of hi tech apparatus were actually keeping her alive past the point where she would normally have departed for eternity.
For example, heart pump, breathing machine, etc. The question then could be "Is the machine keeping her body functioning when she is really dead?".
This however was simple nourishment for an individual who could not feed herself. Just like what we did as parents for our infants.
Had we withheld food from our infants, we would without a doubt (and rightfully so) be charged with murder.
It should have never arrived to the point where "should we starve someone to death?" is even up for debate.
