Ok, it seems my demands are too far unrealistic.
But since the justice ruled out an half-way good decision, is having people (Jesus George) overiding justice decisions out of sync with democracy? If by any way they re-re-re-feed her, will it prove that the governement is agaisnt justice? Or will it pass silently like everything they did?

It seems Georgie has been somewhat inconsistent with his "erring on the side of life" rhetoric...

Very interesting article, thanks!
From a journalism stand point, even if I knew it was sick, its seems to always getting worse.
What can make this stop?
Where are all the honest journalist gone?

I can so understand her parents, because she's their child, and it must be so hard for them to let her go. For the past 15 years they got used to the idea that that's what their child is like, and letting her go now would be the almost same pain for them as letting a healthy child die.
That being said, I absolutely hate what the politicians (and the church) have made of this poor woman's life and death. They turned it into media circus, and yet these things happen all the time, every day, nobody mentions it. There are laws that regulate it, and while the laws may not be perfect. they should be respected, enforced, or changed. Or are they willing to give every patient about to be taken of life support the same amount of attention?
I strongly believe life is sacred, but there's a difference between killing somebody and letting somebody already so ill - die. Isn't that respecting "God's will"?

As the father of 4 daughters,but only one married-I'd say that any responsibilities I had towards that daughter were passed on to her husband. I seriously doubt that any of my girls would allow any man to rule the roost!
What a terrible situation. It sickens me to watch the media, politicians and others turn her life into a political football game. Each and everyday in America there is personal tragedy but sadly no one hears about it unless it is dragged through the spotlight. Where's the same outrage for Jessica Lumsford, the recent school shooting in Minnesota, Rachel Corrie(funny, I had never even heard of her death until I read it here-dispicable) or little Sun Hudson? No, we have the Schindler's who cannot let what's left of their daughter go, christian reich nut-jobs and the Bush Brothers trying to grandstand. All the zealots need to banished to an island where they can have their perfect little world. God Speed Terri!
I see because of "W's" interferance he is down in the polls 45% according to CNN and 43% according to CBS.
This whole thing is being turned into a show for political gain, thanks to the so called press in the states.
They should either re hook her up to the feeding tube and let her live out her life or euthanize her. She should not be able to die a slow death like she is. That is cruel to me.
I also do not like the power struggle between her husband and parents.
Why doesn't the husband just sign the guardinship over to her parents and get a divorce and let her family care for her and deal with the situation? That to me would solve the problem. If the husband does not want to deal with her care let her family do it.

Because he feels a responsibility to carry out her wishes? That's where the family's story about him just wanting her out of the way falls apart.
According to new insights -Terri vis a vis
Christian rhetoric -she uttered the words "help me" This is simply a last ditch effort for a woman in a persistant vegetative state to be "saved". 15 years and 30,000 pages of court documents don't lie. I love how "new evidence" is surfacing after all this time.Experts such as Dr. Cheshire have been hiding for the last fifteen years, like Frankenstein to disclose their findings. Do you think that Michael will strike it rich because of Terri? Sorry the well is tapped out.

I saw a news conference on Thursday, where Jeb Bush claimed that he had a neurologist look at her, and claims that she has been misdiagnosed, and that rather than a persistent vegetative state, she is in a state of "minimal consciousness"...
These bastards will stop at nothing to rob this poor woman of every vestigve of dignity...it's disgusting... :x

...or she may have been articulating the first two words of the sentence, "I want to die" or she may have been articulating the first two words of the sentence, "I want to be left alone" or she may have been articulating the first two words of the sentence, "I want to go to Disneyland"
...or she may not have said anything at all, and the Jesus-freaks are lying their self-righteous asses off...

I feel sorry for Terry and her family, and her husband........they are all being used......problem, reaction, solution scenario..........also I would keep a close eye on your gov while their media use Terry as a "distraction"
Try and starve your dog, horse etc to death and tell the "authorities" about it and see how far you get.
anyway "death is just the beginning, not the end"
Children arrested for taking water to Terry

Not at all stretch, faux implies at best a "imitation" of something real, fox does not even do an "imitation" of the news.
