Im sorry but i think i spelled her last name wrong but anyone who has been following the news knows that she passed away this morning..and i wanted to know if this should be looked upon as murder.
for those of you who are not aware what i am talking about terry was a woman who suffered sever brain damage about 12 years ago due to lack of oxygen for an extended period of time and have been in a semi vegetative state since then. She has been using a feeding tube to keep her alive. although some doctors say she was responsive to certain things. (example..she opened her eyes when instructed to, and she could tell the difference between her parents and was aware when people entered her room.)
about a week or two ago her husband ordered the doctors to take her off of the feeding tube. her parents fought to keep her alive but courts gave the final decision to her husband. some little facts about him are: he is currently living with another woman with whom he has children. If terry were to pass he would recieve a large amount of money not to mention the 2 million dollars he was given to put terry in rehab. (which he never did). terry's parents offered him 1 million dollars to give them power over the decision to whether they should take terry off of the feeding tube or not.
would you want to be kept alive..why or why not?
do you think her husband did what he did for the money?
Was what happened considered murder?
