Guest,

My point was that exactly. Nobody has the right to make the decision to remove or continue except Terri and/or her husband. I do though believe, although I do not think that it needs to be a requirement, that the husband should be smart enough to take in all sides of the argument from all interested parties (i.e. immediate family, clergy (if religious)) but the responsibility for making the decision and then living with that decision lies squarely on his shoulders.

If my wife told me to pull the plug if she ever ended up in the same condition, then you bet your ass I would. Not only to ease her suffering, if any, but because I would consider it an honor and treat it as her last request and rest well at night knowing that I loved her enough to overlook my selfish feelings of wanting her with me rather than letting her lay there and be only the shell of what her essence really is.
