I followed that case very closely throughout the day. CNN.com was updated a good four-five times today, about three times in the same two-hour period. Very big topic today.

I can't pretend to know the right choice: I don't know all the facts. I do know she's been in a "vegetative state" for the past 15 years. I do know that there have been allegations against the husband's treatment, most of them made in the past couple months. I do know that experts state that she is in a permanent "vegatative state," but that the parent's feel she can communicate. I do know a doctor who worked in hospitals and has extensive experience, and she said that the parents are deluded: people deeply in a coma can sometimes appear to respond. If all the doctors say she won't wake up and can't respond, then she won't wake up and won't respond.

That's all I know. We don't know her wishes, as 15-years-ago, these kind of wills weren't commonplace, and it is reported that she told her husband orally what she wished. The only other fact I know is that it was ruled in court that it was in Terri's best interest for the feeding tube to be removed("that is what she would have wanted"), and that both the Florida Supreme Court nor the US Supreme Court dismissed any petitions by the parents.

So, with this limited piece of knowledge that I know, I'd say the feeding tube should be removed. I also think the House Republicans are using this as a political soap box and that is disgusting.
