14. I disagree.
I am far from an expert on this subject, medically and politically, but I've heard enough evidence from both sides to convince me that Terri would not have wanted to live like this. Her husband has been offered upwards of $10 million to sign away his rights, yet he refused. If he was doing this for money, wouldn't he have taken that money and ran? Furthermore, he offered to donate the rest of Terri's life insurance to charity. Court after court after court has determined that this was not Terri's wish. What are the chances that they, with much more information and testimony, were all wrong?

Furthermore, no matter what you feel on the case, do you really want Congress, and NOT your next-of-kin, to be responsible for your medical decisions if your life is in danger?

People far more educated on this subject will probably come in and explain this much better and clearer than I am able, but these are my views on the subject.
