I don't understand you either William.

From what I understand from way back when I read about all this, there is even question about how she actually became brain damaged. Like the husband could have had something to do with it. Her condition came about very mysteriously from what I remember.

Just because she is brain damaged (not brain dead) doesn't mean we should kill her. As far as extensive medical equipment.. the only thing she needs is a bag with the drink in it (like for instance "ensure") and a stand on which to hang it. Not very extensive.

It seems so obvious to me that this man that is called her husband only resents Terri's existence. He wants her dead so he can have her money. That's probably why he won't just divorce her. Now it is probably also an issue of what he looks like. I'm sure he doesn't want people to think badly of him for divorcing her and marrying another woman.

You know, if Florida has it's way, then it would be the epitome of hypocrisy. Don't they pay gazillions of tax dollars to run group homes?? Group homes where some are fed through feeding tubes, and are either developmentally disabled, or brain damaged? Don't they pay a gazillion in tax dollars for their medical care? Isn't the state the only "ADVOCATE" for these people???

I suppose this is just another step though. There are already babies that are allowed to starve to death, or are killed in horrific ways and it's all legal.. all because the mother wants her baby dead.

If I were a betting woman, I would bet that Terri would have asked for a divorce a long time ago if she could. She does have biblical grounds after all!!!

(Sorry, this was more of a rant than anything!)
