Why is this country so screwed up? Why are our priorities so out of whack?

I dunno. Maybe the masses are using her as the embodiement of everything wrong with this world, and if she dies, that's it, the country is gone. That's just my opinion though. Althouhg it does seem most of the country agrees with me. BTW, she can be rehabilitated to feed herself, it's jsut her husband doesn't want to spend the money on the life he loves so much, for her to be able to swallow food. That's what pisses me off about this case.

Umm, Viper, this is her brain scan: As you can see, there is no brain. She is, for all practical intents and purposes, dead.

Maybe it is a metaphor that Liberals are the end of western civilization as we know it.

Carl, she can still be rehabilitated to swallow. Swallowing is a lower motor function, that liquified neural cortex to do it. It's just too bad that she didn't get this rehabilitation at the begining.

Kensai the majority of EVANGELICALS believe the feeding tube shouldn't be reinserted, a super majority of the whole country believe it shouldn't be.
Btw, there is more evidence supporting she can't than she can, the neurologist that Bush said told him he could apparently never visited her.

My problem, though, is WHY IN THE HELL are we giving so much attention to a brain dead woman who should've had her tube removed years ago? I mean Congress tried to overstep its constitutional boundaries and tell the courts what to do. Hell, this shouldn't even have gone to the courts. The spouse has the right to pull the plug, not the parents, and that's why the Schindlers are getting laughed out of evert courtroom they appeal to.
And how does Congress and the President have the balls to take it upon themselves to do something about one brain dead woman's situation and only one? If you watched the video, one woman cited a case where a six month old boy was taken off of life support BECAUSE HE COULDN'T PAY. Excuse me, but one woman who's been kept alive for seventeen years artificially versus a six month old boy who hasn't even had a chance to experience life. Let these Right to Life fuckers can shove it up their asses. I'm tired of this bullshit.

Too bad that isn't actually her brain scan Carl.
Guess why? Check all the records, they have YET to do a CAT Scan. Why? The husband doesn't want to.
I don't get why the judge doesn't just fucking CONNECT her, and make it quite clear and check AGAIN if she is in fact brain dead. But nooooo. Husband can't have that.
Though its amusing, the husband claims that he cares for her, thats why he is doing it... and yet he was dating within a year of when she entered her "vegetative state", and actually has two six year old kids by now.
Frankly, I don't know which side is right in this case. Likely neither. However, the judge should just freaking CHECK FOR SURE.
No, they haven't done a CAT scan Carl. The only examination of her was that 40 minute examination by a doctor who thinks people with Altzeimers should have no rights (seriously).
Unless they've done a scan I haven't heard of in the past two days, I don't think so.

My point with this thing is this- if you're going to let her die, just get a court order inject her for crying out loud. Starving anyone to death is bullshit. It's not like she's dieing on her own or something- she just can't feed herself in order to remain alive. I've been dehydrated to the point of being severely sick before, and let me tell you- it blows angry monkey balls.
There's a whole lot of talk going around about how she's some kind of veggie- but relly, let's be honest- you're not a medical doctor, and most types of analytical tests used to determine brain functionality havn't been used on her yet. As we can't become her and say for sure what se can and cannot feel, if you want to let her die- just inject her. Anyone who tells you that a death by starvation and dehydration is peaceful and pleasant is a damn liar covering their own ass for the press.
The problem is that people are afraid that if they do inject her it'll be viewed for what it is- killing a defenceless woman. I say let's not beat around the bush. If you want someone dead, just say so, get a court order, and have her actively killed. That's how it works, right? You can just have the courts get on your side and no one will have the power to overturn anything because the people who stand to gain from anything and have the political power to make a move are just a bunch of PC pussies who are too afraid to do what they think is right to risk their asses.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the legal process, but I just find the conflict of interest in a man with another woman he's living with and has 2 kids with, and is reported to have talked regularly with about how how the woman to which he was legally wed was "dieing and would be dead any day now" for years (dispite the fact that she lacks only higher brain functionality, and is not actually in a state of dieing in and of herself) to be staggering. And of course, let's not forget that it took the sum of 7 years for her husband to "remember" that she had said she wanted to die in such a case as to be artificially sustained by any means.
Also, Zorak is right by my research. After a short period of time, her husband Mikey-boy has legally declined any absolutely unnecissary treatments for Terri, including CAT scans, PET scans, physical therapy and rehabilitation, all the way down to antibiodics for a bedsore. He has seen to it that nothing at all is invested in her that might change anything.
I would like to add however, that I too am sickened by the fact that only one of the millions of horrific cases of tragic events such as this ever come to national light. There are many worse cases than hers that deserve to be looked into, but are not. The US needs to look into the overall betterment of its people, not just the good of one citizen.
