Quote:kept alive by machines for one year, let alone fifteen years.

Just one point I want to make here, the only artificial assistance she had was a feeding tube. It wasn't a whole set up like it is in many cases. Just a feeding tube.

Quote:If the brain is dead, the entire human is dead.

The problem I have with that statement is that it's basically saying that "she's not alive enough, so we should just kill her the rest of the way". I think that view is just wrong, even a person who is in state like Terri was in should have the right to live, if that is their wish. The problem is we don't know what she would have wanted, aside from the husband saying that one time she commented that she wouldn't want to live like that, which is circumstancial at best.

Terri was never allowed to decide for herself. In either case someone was deciding for her. That's the tragedy here.

Sometimes you get the scorpion.
