It is very wrong. The husband, who gained a million dollars off of court cases, has a girlfriend and two children. Now, why should he have a say on her life. the law says that when you are married the spouse has legal care of your condition if you are injured. that's the problem... the law is the problem. why let her die when there's hope?
some q&a's from her site If Terri hasn't recovered after all these years of therapy, why not let go? Terri hasn't had meaningful therapy since 1991, but many credible physicians say she can benefit from it. Why can't Terri just divorce? Terri's husband/guardian speaks for her. She cannot divorce without his permission Does Terri have an advanced directive or any wishes about her healthcare? Terri never signed any directive or living will and there is no evidence that she foresaw her present situation. Why do Terri's family fight to keep her alive? Shouldn't they let her husband decide? Terri's husband has started another family and probably has gone on with his life. Terri's family want to provide her therapy and a safe home. Is Terri receiving life support? Not in the traditional sense. Terri only receives food and fluids via a simple tube. Isn't removing her tube a natural and dignified way to die? No. Dehydration and starvation cause horrific effects and are anything but peaceful. Read more here. |

HER HEART STILL BEATS, she still responds to movement, she knows that there is a balloon dangling over her, there still is hope. the husband has nothing else to do with her, he moved on already, why make decisions for her? her mother should have full responsibility for her, considering she did bring her into the world. |
