Her husband has involved the court system, which has determined that she would have never wanted to live in this "persistent vegatative state" based upon testimony from the husband, brother in law and sister in law. That determination is what has brought us to this point because no matter what, a court has decided that it would have been Terri's wish that she would die instead of living in this type of condition. Essentially, everyone else's position, her parents (etc.) is irrelevant because the court has already determined that she would not have wanted to live this kind of existence.
At this point, most people take issue with this determination of Terri's will by the court system and whether the appropriate evidence was considered in this determination.
My issue is with the fact that they are starving this woman to death. How inhumane is that?
