I was not comparing Terri to Autistic children in general. I was comparing her with one special person - My niece, Angel. Your descriptions above do not refer to Angel nor to her case. My concern is the legal precedence that is being set. The person who would most profit from her estate is the person who gets to pull the tubes. You don't see a conflict of interest here ??

Refer to the article posted above. The person telling eveyone that she is a veg is the person profiting from her death - or people on his payroll - or people who have an adgenda beyond Terri herself. They refuse to let anyone else see her. Don't you have to ask yourself "WHY" ?

Life is much too short for anyone to spend it this way.

Seeing that the man has two children by his mistress - I mean fiance' - I think he has "gotten on with his life" already.
