I was not sure how I felt about this case earlier. I could see both sides of the issue. I felt like it was a typical custody battle with both sides doing what they had to, to keep the kid, with alot of he said, she said stuff.
I was more confused on my thoughts because Terri was not in a coma. That makes it harder for me because to me "Coma" "Unconcious" is vegitative, she is not vegitative in my mind. I had to try and think hard if I would want to live the way she is living. We would not kill her if she was born that way, why would we do it now? I have still not decided if I would want to live like that but I have decided one thing is for sure.......This is Inhumane, Barbaric, Murder. We are dehydrating & starving a defenceless, living, conscious (to what ever degree) human being, to death. Our most vial criminals on death row have more humane treatment at death then an innocent victim of a tragic (questionable) what ever it was that put her there.
Let her family have her back to treat her and rehabilitate her the best they can. The "Loving Hubby" can go on with life (which he has), the parents get their daughter back, they want her, he doesn't, isn't that simple enough? There is nothing in writing to prove anything and we know our system works on "In Writing". How far would a contested Will or lack there of, get in the courts if some suspect relative said "Uncle Joe told me he wanted me to have all his earthly posessions, and I have a couple people (closest and dearest friends) that heard him say it". If no written will was found, I don't think it would get very far.
Terri.....I am sorry and ashamed of us that your life has come to this.
