It shouldn't be about what the parents or any other family want. The family would be doing quite the disservice to her (if she in fact did not want to continue like this) if they want to keep her alive just to postpone their inevitable grief. That would be quite cruel.
This is about what Terri wants. Unfortunately, her wishes were never made clear, which is why this story is anywhere near the news. I have a hard time believing Michael Schiavo, and I have a hard time believing the parents actually think they're acting in Terri's best interests.
EDIT: I just looked at the 'blog', and it's quite disgusting. I would expect all members of the PC left wing to condemn this, but my gut feeling tells me they'll be MIA.

Hell, she should be up and doing jumping jacks with that brain scan!!

I have a pretty wide-ranging sense of humor, but I can't dig up any hilarity in that blog.

She can feel pain.
While this is doubtful at best, they are giving her morphine as a precaution to ensure she is not.
On the subject of an autopsy telling the story... I have read several cases which state an autopsy cannot tell the difference between minimal consciousness or a vegatative state. It is a purely clinical diagnosis.

Since the pope has recently had a feeding tube inserted, I've been expecting the left and Michael Schiavo to protest, on the basis that the pope's physicians are denying him the type of euphoria that Terri is experiencing right now. (According to the 'kill Terri' crowd, Terri is very peaceful and comfortable right now).

Did you fail comprehension or something ? And thus you need to just talk nonsense and throw in left wing liberal [censored] every now and then ?
Terri = house plant
Pope = living human
Does that get the point across ?
