Hi Wheels,
There are issues on both sides of Terri's life that touch my heart. What touches my mind is the need for putting ones wishes in writing so ones right to live, or not live, in any situation will be guarded. The right to die would not be an issue if living wasn't so scary!
With Love,

My only point is that Terri is more alive than anything in a petri dish.
Terri is alive and reactive. But what is more important is for those
thousands of people who are surviving with G-Tubes (feeding tubes) and are probably
wondering
if the government allows just one person to die, they all risk the same
actions if Medicaid or Medicare should ever run out of money.
Today, many state governments are now closing mental health wards in their
states and sending residents to other locations, as a means to save money and
budget cuts.
What will be the next step. Kinda scares ya ..... doesn't it?
