You raised her not to be a quitter, and she thinks that pulling the plug is a cowards way out. You don't agree with her, but she thinks it's like suicide without having to tie a noose, but her husband told her:
"Keeping me alive in that state is horrific."
"Being kept alive in a situation like that seems so horrible that it should be obvious, a normal person would not want it done to them."
"Pulling a feeding tube isn't as barbaric as people think."
"Pull the plug and let nature take its course."
Then you daughter tells you she agreed with him, because he was making her feel stupid.
Now she's in a comma and her husband wants to pull the plug.

LOL. Where was your source for this "info"?
How about this:
She wanted the plug pulled. Her parents don't. Her husband wants to fulfill her wishes. End of story. Has anyone come up with an actual motive for this guy to be doing this for some other reason?

Spousal rights to speak for a spouse are not absolute.

This is a patently ridiculous statement. Murdering your spouse does not equate to speaking for your spouse.
--- Quote ---All of you rooting for her death, can rejoice.
The courts investigated this case and decided she would want to die.

For me personally, I was not rooting for her death. I was rooting for her right to choose. Two entirely different things.

What he is saying is that there is lots of doubt in the public court that these were her wishes.
That's the dispute.

Have you even LOOKED at the CAT scan of Terri's skull?
Just so we are clear: MOST OF HER BRAIN IS GONE! IT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH SPINAL FLUID!!! BRAIN MATTER DOESN'T GROW BACK.
Even microscopic neural damage can wreck havoc on a person's motor skills and memory, Terri on the other hand is COMPLETELY MISSING THE MAJORITY OF HER BRAIN! How can you even suppose a recovery of any kind, let alone a *ROFL* "complete recovery?"
Jesus H. Christ...you can't POSSIBLY believe the things you type, can you? Seriously? No, really...SERIOUSLY??
Note: Dark areas are holes in the brain that have been replaced by fluid.
