Re: Protecting the parents
See, that's how I feel, too.
Besides, I have a serious problem with pulling the plug on anyone who isn't comatose. For me personally, I could never convince myself beyond a reasonable doubt that she was completely incapable of cognizant thought. It may not look like it on the outside, but what about on the inside?
Although, to be honest, I don't know anything about her medical treatments (scans, tests, etc.). If it was shown that her brain did not record any activity at all, then I think I would not feel so uncomfortable about the whole thing. Was that the case?
I would have preferred Terri Shiavo not appear alert in the least, before cutting off her life support.
