I'm not going to get into a contest with you, Luvin Labs, but it surprises me that you have so much more of a strong opinion than even the experts do about what was right for this woman! Really! You are a relative newcomer to this board, and we welcome you, but I have to say you certainly have come on strongly for a newcomer.

Your "insider" knowledge is just more of what we are all dealing with.... not knowing. I think most of us have tried to view this whole situation as humanely as possible with our wishes erring on the side of life when there was doubt, which their obviously was, with the lack of a physical document stating Terri Shiavo's wishes.

Your opinion about what was best for Terri obviously differs from mine, but I find it almost unbelievable that you continue to ridicule and fault people who wished for something different that you did....I am a parent and I have to tell you that if there were a glimmer of hope that my daughter could live and I could care for her, by God, I would do that. I certainly wouldn't do it to the point of being cruel, but this was a living, breathing person, who needed nutrition, but otherwise was healthy. Yes, she was disabled, but to her parents, she was everything. I understand their sentiment completely.
