This woman is a living being. It isn't like she is in a coma and never going to wake up or in an unresponsive state beign kept alive mearly by machines. This woman can interact with other people, she has a functioning brain and if they just gave her the chance she could improve her situation with some therapy. The decision is so damn wrong it's unbelievable and I hope the judge can live with himself and her money grabbing husband does not! How can they do that? This woman is a living being.

The decision is so damn wrong it’s unbelievable and I hope the judge can live with himself and her money grabbing husband does not!

I thought you were a bleeding-heart liberal. Oh I hear you, Silk. It seems that when one is declared mentally incapacitated, their rights are far less important....and unfortunately, the husband, who has fathered two other children since then, BTW, has the decision-making authority. As it stands now, anyway, unless Congress or a member of the Executive branch steps in. Yeah I know that’s supposed to be funny Bruce, but damn you’re insensitive!

He's feeding his new girlfriend and two kids on the 'benefits' of his wife. He has the cash and now he wants rid of the burden. I can't understand why he just wont pass guardianship back to her parents, he obviously doesnt want it! The guy is obviously nothing but a money grabbing bastard.

Terri does not have a functioning brain. The space once filled by her cerebral cortex is now filled with spinal fluid. The videos trumpeted by Terri's parents as "evidence" of her reaction to stimuli were snippets cut from much longer periods. Those snippets show a few seconds where her involuntary movements happened to match the actions of her parents. In the court hearings, the judges have viewed the complete tapes and ruled that the movements are consistent with brain stem (note: not brain) activity, are nonreproducible, and not evidence that she is alive. Don't believe me? I linked to the court rulings over at Nakedvillainy. Read 'em yourself. Silk and Sadie,

I read that utter crap as well. Fundamentally though, I take issue regardless of the whole concept of 'brain death.' This ain't the Cruzan case. Oh Smallholder, of course I believe you.

Can your life still be meaningful? Regardless of that I can't believe House conservatives would go so far as to subpoena the woman to testify before Congress.
