I posted this in the Lounge - please bear with me because I just got home.
I'm very glad that she has passed on and is in a better place (this is my belief; feel free to share it, or not). I submit this argument in response to those religious wackos who claim she was "murdered": Could an argument not be made that she committed suicide? After all, it was her bulimia that caused her cardiac arrest, which in turn led to her persistent vegetative state. Of course, these idjits' brains are incapable of twisting that far and taking that in, so this is a meaningless question.

Thank you very much. That is all.

1. No, it's not a meaningless question
You're right of course. And the fundies will not see it that way. All they can see is what's right in front of their noses and that's the fact that chimpy tried to step into the courts business and the court's said "get out!"

2. This segment of blather brought out the vegetable in all of us
DU was looking like Fux News jumping into the fire spraying gas everywhere.I feel so sorry for everyone personally involved with Terri because the 1/15 second flashed media bites are just a way to sell product,people are not products.

The discussions that I have had with some in my Family that are fundamentalists have been quite intense. They feel she was aware and able to respond. Their source was terriesfight.com... were they showed 45 sec videos of her "responding" to words and music.

We have a Family.com site and there was a post about this issue. It came down to those wanting to extend her life posting to me that it is God's will that she live. I responded that I think its God's will that she be allowed to die as he first intended 15 years ago. That only because of advanced medical care she saved from dying.

The sad thing this is probably only the beginning...as now there will be a Terri's law enacted that God only knows what will be in it.

May Terri rest in peace .....
