5. So if you were in that state but your family wanted you to be, okay?
First off, Michael Schiavo is the decision maker. Period. If he says unplug her, it should have already been done.

Second, the parents took care of her for 2 (or 3) weeks. They brought her right back to where she is. They don't want to take care of her, they just want her to stay alive at whatever cost. They have said that *even if* Terri said she didn't want to be kept alive this way, they would have wanted to keep her alive.

Which leads to the last point: Are you saying "fuck Terri and what she wants?" Because that is what this comes down to (aside from the legal issues)--if she does not want to be alive, should she have to be? Just so her parents can be happy?
