Only in the minds of people who don’t see reality. She was brain dead.

Odd, even those trying to murder her never suggest that she was brain dead. Brain death is a specific medical term, a person who is brain dead is unable to breath on their own, this WAS NOT the case with Terri.

Here is a link to videos which clearly show that she was responsive.

Videos of Terri

No, she was released per her instructions to her husband. I, for one, don’t want the Government intruding on the instructions I might leave behind.

Where are those instructions? Do you have a copy of them?

And the parents didn’t get involved until the money was on the line. Some love, eh?

You have no idea what you are talking about.

The one you imply in your comparison. The article speaks of a 2 month ordeal. The Shaivo [sic] case went 6 years.

Again, you are wrong.

From the article:
The Beckners reached the bedside of their comatose daughter the next afternoon, the beginning of a six-year rehabilitation struggle.

And Terri's injury was FIFTEEN years before her murder.

There were no higher brain functions. Those videos make my point — she was not thinking any more than a grasshopper who watches movement.

For her, they were entrusted to her husband. That is the law. For me, they are written down.

Do you know what Schaivo’s were? Or do you want Big Government to create them from whole cloth? Like you are.

Thanks for making my point. 15 years is even more than 2 months.
