Two thoughts:
1) As I understand the case, the main point of contention from the parents
is that there is a chance that Terri does have some intelligence and could
get better if she was given some therapy. So this leads me to the question:
If the parents were somehow convinced there is absolutely no possible way
for Terri to have any intelligence at all, now or in the future, would they
still want Terri to live in that condition?
2) My wife had a thought that about the eating disorder that Terri
supposedly had which (probably) caused the present condition. My wife made
the comment that an eating disorder is a control issue (care to weigh in,
Larry?), and now the woman has no control at all. So my two theories are:
a. Terri developed the eating disorder before she was married due to
the control that her parents placed on her, and now that same control is
being exerted to keep her alive, or
b. Terri developed the disorder while married and now that same
control is being exerted to force her to die.
What do you think? Are these crazy, conspirational thoughts?

negative. But it's not my criterion, it's yours. Except that you don't
mind citing a lawyer's medical opinion when it "fits you view of the
case," again your term not mine.
The people who wrote those journal articles are at least physicians,
no? Definitely highly trained?
Personally I think that you can approach this case on a number of
levels -- legal, medical, ethical, emotional, and maybe some more that
don't come to mind right now. A lot of the headbutting going on, imho,
is a result of people not defining their frame of reference. Gruss for
example is stuck on law. You *were* doing science; right now I am not
sure. Sam I think is talking ethics.
