Try and pay attention, people.

I wasn't arguing the validity of her final wish (although the sole source we have of that being her final wish seems to be her incredibly creepy husband). What I was arguing was the manner of that death. It's babaric, and it's just plain wrong. We don't let people do that to dogs, why in the name of all that's holy, sacred and true are we doing it to a human being?

(Plus, I can't find my damn wallet so that makes me even grumpier.)

Terri no longer has a cerebal cortex. It's gone, nothing but a pool of spinal fluid. Her brain is gone. Do you understand that? None of the medical experts that the parents have used have ever even examined Terri. When the judges vierwed the full video of her alleged responses, they found that the parents were taking any random movement as a response.

He's doing it because TERRI DIDN'T WANT THIS! She said so, and not only her husband but her brother and his wife have testified to this! There is no hope that she will ever get better, none. Let the body die.
