My main concern is that this will set a kind of standard for what we (society) determine to be quality of life. And where does that stop, exactly? If there is a determination that this type of existence is unacceptable, will there be a point where society determines that those with extreme physical and/or mental disabilities are no longer "worth" it?

Also, I think it is important to note that most people associate "life support" with a ventilator, instead of a feeding tube. I know that I do. Is there specific evidence that Terri mentioned or even thought about a feeding tube vs. a ventilator when making any kind of statements about not wanting to live on life support?

I keep coming back to the irony that it was Terri's eating disorder that started all this in the first place...stranger than fiction, I tell ya...

We all imagine the horror of it taking her up to three weeks to die. And I can't imagine what it will be like for her parents to visit her in those final three week, But if she requires mechanical assistance to sustain her life, it's life support, yes?

What troubles me is whether or not when Terri allegedly made these statements about not wanting life support, did she really mean that to include a feeding tube? I submit that most people, other than those in the medical community, usually equate life support with a ventilator. How many people would say, "Well, if I can't swallow food, I don't want to live"? Not me. And remember, this woman isn't brain dead, just brain damaged.

If Terri is in a PVS, which she is..then she wouldn't feel or know the "starvation" The starvation thing is something some politicans and her family have used to prove a point, when in fact they know that she wont be lying there knowing she's starving, have any pain or anything...she is brain dead...she does not know what is going on nor will she feel anything

Did anyone see the interview with the nurse who treated Terri back in the late 1990's? She said that Terri would respond to visitors and that Michael Schiavo would routinely ask "Is the bitch dead yet?" Where the hell was this woman during the initial litigation process?
