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

Supposively there are 4 witnesses who heard her iterate that she didn't or wouldn't choose to live this way.  I believe the issue is money.  Not for sure but her husband was granted (hearsay) $10 million to care for her for life thru a settlement. In '93 he refused her parents any money and
