ok there is a thing called a living will, and that is basically what you sign if you do not want to live by a machine (or life support) if she would hve signed somthing like that this would all be over

tjamz well said, good point to story

[Guest]

thanks, I try to keep up on all things political

Ok it is a cruel way to let someone die. but seriously her brain is so damaged it's basically mush right now. Yeah she can go through thearpy but how much is that gonna do? This has gone on way too long, I agree. It's time that the family needs to let go. I know how hard it is, but its time. The more they keep fighting this the more expensive it gets. Thats just my opinion on the whole situation...

nobody wants a slow painful death.. if she can actually feel pain that is.

she can't feel a thing.
Last Friday when I was out with a couple of the paramedics with FM during my shift we got to talking about it.. Studies showed that after a couple days (roughly 3-4) the individual enters a euphoric state similar to drowning after the panic goes away.

shes basically dead as it is and her parents kept pleading that she was recovering. her parents tried to say she started trying to talk and said they asked her how she was and she responded. if she did say how she was, im pretty sure she was gellin'.

[24valvenotak]

they claimed she "responded" I dont think they meant she could talk. I think it was like a squeeze of the hand or a blink or something

I think the whole thing is very sad. I worked in a nursing home as a cna for 3 years. I ahve worked with many people just like terri. It is a horrible way to live. Most of the cases I worked with the families pulled the tube or plug. Because living in that state is not a quality life. And as for this case and the money issues. Well today they were saying that out of all the money there is only $50,000 after all the court fees and hospital bills. If this was me I wouldnt want to live. I would want my husband to pull the plug and move on. Just my opinon...

This is a tuff situation to debate about i think that the nation should not create so much fuss about it. how many people actually know terri that talk about her all the time. I do understand that the people protesting may have had a personal reason to protest but its not there disicion and they need to let the husband an family deal with this on there own and not make it a nation debate like that of some celebirty that just got cought on tape or something

[Tad218]

well i guess it finally happened..

[STiSchucky]

lol i didnt jinx her, i just said shes lasted a long time.

[drift86]

way to go kirk haha j/k
its better now that she isnt suffering

[legacy-user-544]

her husband is having her funeral in an undisclosed location that her side of the family doesnt know of so they wont make a media commotion. good and bad idea. good- her side of the family wont be there to make a big fuss about it. bad- her family isnt there so theyll go on tv and bitch about it.

[STiSchucky]
