But modern medicine has other things to say about that...

If you can't bring them anywhere near their former self then why are they kept alive. Honestly this is sick...and I'm sick of hearing about it.




I agree! Shes never going to be the same and shes as good as dead from the looks of it. Why make her suffer anymore, thats if she can even feel anything. Its just sick and like Pete said I'm so sick of hearing about it! The parents need to let her go!



Yeah [puts on flame suit]
I think some politicians want to redefine 'death' to exclude 'brain death', as it might be considered prejudicial to some of their current members......

Actually, you aren't too far off. The emergency federal laws instituted around this case, many feel were not meant to save her, or kill her, or do anything about Terri's situation. Many argue that Bush used this case to pull on the Democrats heart strings (aka their poll numbers) to push the new laws through in order to have legal support for the upcomming legal challenges to the Medicare reform he is pushing.

It is truly sad that this woman has become a joke and a political pawn. I can't throw stones at her parents however, as I think many of us here, wether we admit it or not, would probably do much the same (maybe not go as far though) to keep our child alive.
