There have been pictures of her brain posted on the internet, and they show that Terri's brain is not damaged, it's wrecked, no cortex to speak of, allot of it has been replaced by fluid. You need your cerebral cortex to be you, without you are not a person.


Not necessarily true. We know where the body interacts with the consciousness and we know what factors may affect the consciousness, but no doctor in the world knows where the conscious IS. It is unfair to assume it is where we can grasp it, and judge Terri's life based on that. For all any of us know, she is still in that shell attempting to communicate but can't.

That does not mean she is dead, and it does not mean she isn't "there" anymore, if you know what I mean.

I also agree with you, somewhat. I don't think her husband is necessarily a monster. I think he is tired of caring and supporting her and not seeing any kind of improvement. He wants to let her go and move on (and already has, somewhat) as morbid as that sounds. However, I do believe that he should just allow her parents to continue to care for her until she finally does die.
