I don't know what you mean by "like" Terri; as no one with no cerebral cortex left is ever going to lead a "productive life", as it is physically impossible to do anything except lie there. Without a cerebral cortex you cannot, and never can, feel, move, or think anything at all. For all intents and purposes, her brain is physically gone. All the important functions that make us who we are can never exist again.

Your wife might work with people "like" Terri in that they're bed-ridden, perhaps comatose, or even brain-damaged, but she is absolutely not working with people that have no remaining cerebral cortex -- at least not working with any that "now lead productive lives".
