I was thinking the same thing about Florida. I’ve heard that they have more ex-cons living there than any other state. Aloha Friday!!

this happens every day. ppl get pulled off machines all the time, and there are always family debates. so what was so special about this case. why was this one woman’s situation so hotly debated? from the amount of media this has attracted, you’d think she were a celebrity or smthg.
i haven’t followed her case one bit, so i didn’t even know she’d died until one of your other commenters wrote it. but at least this whole fiasco is finally over.

Yes a very complex situation indeed. She deserved to be “let go” a long time ago, yet how can you expect parents to ever be ready and willing for that outcome, especially if it means forcing death upon your child by starvation? Overall, I’m happy that Terri has finally been freed from her incapacitated body, but I think there needed to be an extra step to alleviate her from the 13 days of starvation. Once the decision was made to let her die, why torture her in her last moments of life? Let her die peacefully and painlessly in her sleep with a lethal injection.

I think you’re onto something with the Florida thing. This was an incredibly complex case, fraught with so many opinions and the crazy media circus. I was very sad to read today that Terri passed away this morning. I agree with Marie, I hope that she can finally rest in peace now.

It’s sad that this all turned out to be a circus. Terri just passed away. Now she can finally rest in peace.

My heart really goes out to Terri and her family. I cannot imagine what a hard decision that would be. She deserves to be at peace and not trapped in the hell she’s been trapped in. The media has expoited it all, and I’m not surprised that politicians have gotten involved. I get so tired of the media I could scream. They don’t seem to report the news any more - but what they want us to know, and their views of things - always skewed. What ever happened to “just the facts”?

OK, off soap box.
