Reply #14: I agree, that the tape is evidence that Terri is gone... [View All]

...and you are right--you would hope that people would hear it and conclude that Terri is gone.

However, people see and hear what they want to see and hear.

Her parents hear cries for help. Her parents actually said that she was communicating displeasure because her feeding tube had been removed. Later that day, her father said, on camera to CNN, that he told Terri they were going to get her some breakfast later on--and that Terri responded positively to that statement.

These people are not helping. They are completely out of their heads.

I feel for them and have compassion for them--because of this situation. However, their daughter is suffering because of their denial and because of their self-made delusions.

They've propped their daughter up on a stage. Would Terri want that? Would Terri want herself showcased on CNN, to people who view this situation as entertainment? Would she want her primal wailing and moaning blared on the Matt Drudge radio program?

These parents are contemptible. They are not thinking rationally.

Is it any wonder that Terri developed an eating disorder while living with them?
