Do you ever actually read anything before you respond, or do you just blurt out whatever comes to that retarded brain of yours?

He can read? Oh My GOD, I never knew. 😱 (hehe, just joking)

Dude, there is no way that was the longest torture in american history. Atleast she got famous.

Contrary to what current pop culture tends to lead us to believe, many people don't care to become famous.

i think that was wrong.
all the medical stuff she had was this feeding thing, and she died coz of hunger. that's sad.

I agree, they should of done it some other way then starvation. its sad.

Starving is not a good way to die, regardless of your state, which is why there should have been the avenue of Euthanasia in place.

what i don't understand is, its against the law to starve an animal...animal control would jump in right away. People
get put away for animal cruelty. But u can starve a human to death, get away with it because she said she would want to die if that happened to her....(and they don't even have proof of that) Like if she really wanted to die give her a needle or something and make it quick, don't let her suffer for 13 days.

While the means (starvation) and the result (death) are the same, the cases you describe are fundamentally different; It is one thing to starve an animal to death against its will. It is another to discontinue sustaining one's life through artificial means in accordance with his or her wishes.

In the case of Terri Schiavo, you may not feel that there was adequate proof that she would not like to be kept alive by artificial means but 27 courts did.

Could she feel pain?

An individual in a persistent vegetative state is similair to an in individual in a comatose state; he cannot think, feel, or even dream.

That would be horrible, Good thing the "pulled the plug"

Well, Terri is dead. And, all I have to say is that now she can finally rest in peace. It's terrible that this woman was turned into a spectacle and exploited by people on both sides of the issue.

As for my own stance, politically, I cannot believe that Congress actually tried to step in. It's scary how our rights are just slipping away and no one's doing anything about it. And, if the courts ruled in the husband's favor numerous times then so be it.

Morally, I also would have fought to get the plugged pulled. Now, I'm not trying to say that her parents didn't love her, but I think they were thinking more about they're own grief at seeing her go (and clutching and straws I might add) than they were about her. And, for all they're ranting about "God's will" and what not, if it were "God's will" for her to live, why would she have suffered obviously irreversible brain damage in the first place?
