Yahoo! News - Brain-Damaged Woman's Feeding Tube Removed

i hope this actually goes through this time... this has been in the local news for ages - i live in pinellas park - and i keep wishing, for terri's sake, that it would just end. i can't imagine being stuck in my body like that for 15 years. i also think it's sad that she had to even be in that situation in the first place. she's a vegetable because of an eating disorder. and i also think the measures taken to "save" her are bullshit. first, governor jeb (george's brother, in case you didn't know) decides to go around making laws regarding her case, that have no basis in any kind of law or any precedence. now it's become a mission for congress. nice try, guys, but it looks like she and her husband finally beat the lot of you. i witnessed my mum in this state for an afternoon. i can't imagine leaving her in this state for 15 years, and her parents are just sick for allowing this to go on. i hope poor terri will finally find some peace.

(by the way, the people protesting her feeding tube removal are a bunch of fundamentalist whackos. you'd think, if they really believed in heaven, that they would be glad to see her safely to god. i sense a little doubt, however.)
