Reply #53: project a fear?

[Donailin]

I don't know of anyone who would want to live in a persisitent vegetative state for the rest of their natural lives, let alone 15 years because they're afraid. That simply doesn't wash. They wouldn't want to live that way anymore than they'd want to . . live without a brain?? Brain that doesn't give self consciousness/conscios thought is NO BRAIN. It is perfectly reasonable to believe that a brief offhand remark by Terry that "she wouldn't want to live like that" would be exactly the way she felt, especially now.
