This is a nice idea, but I don't think the whole thing is about money on a grand scale, although I think it might be for Michael Schaivo. I think it is a test case to introduce euthanasia in a big way in this country. Note the fact that "some" doctors say that Terri is in a persistent vegitative state. The consensus is not unanimous.
It still feels wrong to me that in a world where we fight to include children in public education whose responses are similar to Terri's, her responses are of no value. I could ask when they lost value, but the answer is obvious: when it became clear that she was not going to recover from her collapse. As a society then, do we have to make up our minds about different? When is it OK and when is it not?
Just thinking about the answer to that question frightens me.
