I like to think the best of people, and I have refrained from putting in my two cents because I am very mixed on this matter. Let me start by saying that I know where I am going when I die and I wouldn't want anyone to try and interfere with that, but because of my beliefs I would assume that God would take me when he wanted me anyway and no life support in the world would stop that. That said I feel badly for everyone around, mostly Terrie who had to die a death that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy , slow and painful. over 15 years no less. I think both sides of the arguement had things to lose/gain from her living/dying. I do believe that we should always chose life. that is me. as for Michael , even if he HAD stood to gain money I bet he doesn't want hate mail and chances of being shot at by a zealot for the rest of his life, so I am sure after all this media coverage he decided to "graciously" turn down or donate the money(or atleast tell the press that is the case). I think this was one of those situations you get into and you realize about halfway that you have gone too far with the fighting but because of pride refuse to back down. It sucks. But Terri is dead now and hopefully resting in peace. I just think we all need to learn from this incident. I wouldn't want to live like she lived but neither would I want to die like she died. Go out and sign a living will and make everyone important to you aware of what you want if the tragic should occur. Thats my 2 cents anyway, take it as you will.
