I think the objective evidence is that everything possible had been done within the first year or two, and they should have let her pass then. I don't know if their resolution is based on their own emotions or if is driven by the manipulation of religious activists though.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695953587621558464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352332.post-1111863812014438082005-03-26T14:03:00.000-05:002005-03-26T14:03:00.000-05:00I see the desperation her parents possess and it b...I see the desperation her parents possess and it breaks my heart. They are holding on to something that is dead.

It's sad but I don't even think my Catholic mother would want me alive in that state and she's signed a living will stating that much for herself. <BR/><BR/>I watched a couple of the videos and you put it way better than I could: its even worse to think she does know enough what's going on and can't speak or do anything about it herself. Horrible situation.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149586586015959516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8352332.post-1111728010761007662005-03-25T00:20:00.000-05:002005-03-25T00:20:00.000-05:00This is such a tragedy!

On one hand, I understand the medical condition and I know I wouldn't want to be kept alive in Terri's condition. I'm sure she wouldn't want that either and she should be allowed to die peacefully. But...I just can't imagine denying her the very basics, food and water, and watching her starve to death. I feel for both the husband andChaotic Serenityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233982906832240098noreply@blogger.com
