this terry crap is pissing me off too. i dont even know what the fuck happened to her. all i know that she doesnt have a feeding tube, which i heard on the news, isnt a feeding tube? WHAT? this case doesnt make sense to me.
Long story, short. She was bullimic. She had a heart attack at 25, left her braindead. She got stuck on life support. After 8 years, the husband asks a judge to let him disconnect her from life support cuz he says that Terri told him many times she wouldn't want to live like that. Her parents object, say she might be cured, she's not totally braindead, she's Roman Catholic and they believe in the sanctity of life, the husband just wants to get rid of her because he has a new woman and two kids with the new woman, blah blah blah. 7 years of litigation ensue. Seems like the final judgement from the courts is that the husband's the legal guardian and he's representing what Terri would've wanted and that the parents are full of shit. The tube that gives her all her food and water is removed, so she can die slow from dehydration and starvation.
but i still dont see all the hype over this. this is why every one should have a will. even if you're 10! it save us a lot of legal battles and save the courts' time!
basically, they are keeping her alive by giving her the nutrients she needs to survive. but survive as what? a vegetable.
yea, i'm sure she grew up saying, i wanna be vegetable when i get big!
sigh.
i seem very apathetic to this case because they want to keep her alive because she has the right to be alive? what about her right not to be sujected to live as a vegetable. blah.
