 I just got done reading the NYtimes areticle on this case and I feel
sorry for the whole family on both sides that they have their lives
dragged out in public like this. People will say the worst of those
they are angray at... and others take it farther than it needs to go.

It's very sad. It's too bad she didn't have a writtend down ,

 That's true. She has no way of saying anything. She can't even think.

 These people have nothing else to do. They seee a 'cause' is all,
doesnt' matter what it is.

 Yep but you gotta have a healthy brain scan too with it as those
ranters may not know what a healthy brain looks like. They may thinkg
the dark enlarged spaces (ventricles) are normal. These poeple and the
parents think Terri is just 'sleeping'... and if only the right
therepy were applied she'd recover. For any therepy to work there must
be some cognitive response or awarness going on. Terri has neither.

 WC> Then go out there to show them reality for their own eye's to see.

 They're not going to. The parents haven't for 15 years.

 WC> I bet you THAT would cause a few of them to rethink their positions.

 Let's get some cat scans of their brains first.
