and you quote:

From the BBC:
Mrs Schiavo's brain scans have not been made public but Dr Walker has followed the case closely through media reports and court records.

The man who is making the statement is not a doctor intimately involved with the case. He has not examined her and he has seen media reports and court records only. He has not seen her or her labs. He is hardly qualified to make such an assessment as he has made without actually seeing her brain scans.

No one knows what Terri truly wanted. Reports have indicated that the husband has never had therapy provided for her at all since being awarded the malpractice decision and not "remembering" that she had said she didn't want something like this until after the money was rewarded. Is all this true?? I have no idea but I wouldn't condemn a disabled person to death if this kind of doubt exists.

Also for those who ask who is going to pay for this: what price to you put on a life and where does that life fail to exist and according to whose standards? This is not unlike the case against censorship, where do you draw the line??? Where does it stop??? Who gets to decide?

Her parents want to care for the daughter they gave birth to, raised, and loved. I say let them.
