Then the people need to change the law. By the people, for the people... right?

Probably because they would have made up some crap about her screaming bloody murder as she died and that she was in horrible, horrible pain.

A dog would have been euthanized long before a PVS and feeding tube was at issue.

I hope that the parties to this family tragedy can somehow put this behind them now.

Without wriiten proof of her wishes..because the so called conversations with her on the subject are just hearsay..No Husband, Family member, court, Government, or President has the right to order your death if you are not guilty of a crime...there is no "right to die"...I know I'll get flak for it..but there is only one person/enitity that can decide that. Maybe she wanted to die...maybe she is better off..we will never know but alot of people beleive that it's not your choice to decide how/when you go. Luckily for her soul she was executed by the government, so in the eyes of that entity she didn't commit suicide.

We'll see what the autopsy has to say about that.

They tried exactly that.  The local cops faced down the state cops and told them not to come back without a judge.

Her basic primal functions worked, there was no higher functions at play. For all intents and purposes, she was a vegetable.

Could you imagine if she was concious the whole 15 years, but just couldn't make anyone aware that she was. What kind of torture would that be. She should have been taken off life support after 1-2 years at the most.

I believe it was quite a chore to get her off life support.  Once your on, your on for life.  That's the story the hospital gave us when my father was possibly going to be put on life support.  

The whole story all revolved around money.  Such a shame the lady could not have died with some dignity.

p.s. Unfortunately, I am becoming more and more disappointed with President Bush and the Republican party.  If only the Democrats would stop being the "Liberal- baby killing, gun grabbing, queer marrying" party I believe we could get more balance in the US.  There was a time when the Democratic party was focused on representing the working class.  What working class person can afford to be liberal?

No, a person described as a vegetable just lies there like a vegetable would.  They are alive but have NO brain functions.


Terry had brain functions, but no higher brain functions due to brain damage.  She was anything but a vegetable.




But keep justifying her murder if it makes you sleep better at night.
