eh she would never ever be the same even if she did come around… im sure shes got contractures like all hell… and besides putting her out of her misery would be more humane than letting her go on… bed ridden patients are prone to some many things its sometimes better letting them die than letting them live… i wonder what her history is on bed sores, one good one and she can die form that. waste of m oney and time to keep her going … ---

Terri Schiavo suffered brain damage in 1990 when her heart stopped briefly from a chemical imbalance believed to have been brought on by an eating disorder. Court-appointed doctors say she is in a persistent vegetative state with no hope of recovery. ---

I don’t get why this is such a big deal. When my grandpap was in the hospital last year dying of lung cancer my grandma came in and said to pull the plug and that was it. It’s the husbands choice and not the parents. Once you get married your spouse is the decision maker. I vote to let her die. I don’t think starvation is any more cruel than pulling the plug on someone who can’t breathe on their own. I’m really sick of seeing her on every tv station, and i’m also sick oh hearing 50 cent on every radio station, but that’s a different story. ---

> [@PewterSS](#): > > she was eating on her own once with a nurse & he came in & stop it,if she get SOMEONE WORKING WITH HER,SHE will get better,hubby wont let that happin! Story w/ link? and how long ago was it. Remember this woman hasn’t been out of bed for 15 YEARS so if it was 14 years ago again no one knows why it was stopped except her Dr and the husband. She could have had a high risk of choking due to loosing voluntary motor skills like swallowing. ---

Terri’s eyes will sink into her skull after a couple days, she will begin to dehydrate, then go into more of a coma like state THEN stop breathing. ---

its all about quality of life…period. I’ve told my wife years ago…if i’m ever messed up, to just kill me. I don’t want to suffer or be a burden to anyone. and if who ever is in charge decides to keep me alive so they can watch me follow a pencil with my eyes & moan… did any of you see the grudge…once i do die i’ll come back & get everyone of them. i wouldn’t want to live even if i was paralized like c. reeves…let alone a vegtable.
