So the inevitable has occured. All the drama her parents raised...I can imagine how hard it'd be to let your child go at first, but they've had 10 years to get over it.

Images of Terri's brain clearly show most of it was gone. Her blinkings came from the only functioning part of her brain: the stem, which controls AUTOMATIC responses and functions. In other words, she had the consciousness of a robot.

In first place, Terri should've been euthanized. I support Dr. K's actions. I mean, I can't imagine ever wanting to die. I want to live forever. But everyone who is in great pain with no hope of attaining a better condition should be allowed to die peacefully if they want to. It's their own lives—it can't get more elementary than that. Many Christians are against it, but if they believe in heaven, won't it be good if people get there ASAP? :) But yeah they believe that God will be angry with them if they meet Him sooner than He had planned. It's like your date popping up 20 minutes early.

But I say to Christians: don't you believe that God granted you free will? Basically, you have the right to piss off Him if you want to. So the concept of enforcing laws to keep people from "sinning" should seem stupid to you even if you're religious.
