On a side note: if euthanasia were legal, Terry could be put to sleep and euthanized with drugs. This extensive starvation wouldn't be necessary. Ironically, it's the same kind of people who hold signs up about the "sanctity of life" that have prevented Terry from dying more quickly and painlessly. Hmmm.
I think everyone here is missing the point. You Christians are constantly complaining about how marriage means the two are "one flesh"--so put your money where your mouths are. The husband has the legal right to control his wife's destiny in this matter. Her parents should have NO SAY. If something like this ever happened to me, I know that my husband would know much better than my parents how I would like things to be handled. And I would certainly hope, if I were brain-dead and there was an involved legal battle over me like this one, that my husband would be able to find solace and happiness in any way possible. If he met and loved another woman, so be it. I would want him to be happy.
And besides, none of this is any of our business. If Terry needs an advocate, I'm sure she has plenty. I'm also positive that the last thing the family needs at this time is a bunch of hysterical life-at-any-cost protestors doing their best to make this as stressful as possible. So stop worrying about what other people's families do, and worry about your own! Sheesh.
