Rubbish. It's not about her being a vegatable. (BTW, she IS in a 'vegatative state', but that doesn't mean what people think it means) It's about the fact that she will _never_ get better than that. She will always just lie there, fed through the tube, barely knowing what's going on around her, once in a few months/years twitching a grimace or two. It lasts 15 years. It will never get better, but it also probably won't get any worse, as long as doctors take care of her. So, she could probably 'live' like that for next 50 years or more. The question is, what the hell for? (and where were all those do-gooders for the last 15 years? and how dare they accuse the husband, who's been there and took care for her for those 15 years, when he could've just divorce her and live happily ever after?) The story is full of lies, frauds and misinterpretations on both sides. In this case, it's best to trust the judges. They had experts, there were trials, they know what they're doing. Yes, go look at that video. There's a mother who talks to Terri, and Terri has this one terrible grimace on her face - which they claim is a 'smile' - and has obviously NO idea what's going on, except that something's happening. And they call this 'awareness'. Think about that grimace and sound she makes. Think about 15 years she's been like that, and God knows how many more years she will be forced to live like that, without any improvement, without change. Then tell me about being brutal.

Hell, I won't. Just brought anything else than "let's all be modern and liberal" - I'm not your adversary on this particular subject. The DA thread I took this text from contains even some plot-theory stories ]:-> And what have all the do-gooders do for those 15 years? Doing other cool'n'trendy things, just what the sheep always did do and will always do.
