I think she should be allowed to die because if I were in her position, I would want to die. I talked to Marky about it, and if he were in her position, he would want to die too. What's the point of living if you can't understand what's happening around you, and there's pretty much no chance you will ever recover? In my opinion, she's pretty much dead already, except for the fact that she has reflexes and possibly can do some basic things.

If her parents do take care of her, how long will they let her live for? Her entire life? I cringe at the thought of having to live that way for the rest of my life. I would rather be let go.

Also, part of the reason I believe it's the right thing to do is that the courts have decided it's the right thing to do (multiple times). This case has been looked out inside out, and so there must be a reason they've always said the tube should be removed.

All that said, the biggest issue I have with all of this is that it's an issue at all. It should not be such a big deal in the country right now. This is a personal family thing. What if Terri does "wake up" one day and finds out that the whole world knows her name? Somehow I doubt she'd want that.
