>From everything I have read in the court documents and the testimony of all the various experts involved. Even those experts who supported the Schindlers showed a remarkable consistency in their descriptions of Terri Shiavo. Breifly put, there was no consistency in her behavior, no intensionality. There was nothing that can be possibly described as consistent behavior.
For example in the court testimony of one of the neurologists who examined her described Terri apparently smiling when her mother came in the room. What many who were against removing her gastric feeding tube seem to forget, is that Ms. Shiavo's expression did not change when her mother went into the next room, or when the neurologist rubbed her neck. Similary much was made of the video of Terri Shiavo tracking a balloon with her eyes. That was never replicated. Terri Shiavo fit all the requisite criteria for PVS - and given the damage to her CNS would never get better. larry On Apr 4, 2005 12:05 AM, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > er... the one Larry said was a quack said she squeezed his fingers > when asked.
