Then I stand corrected. If that is the accepted wisdom then so be it. It should then be standard practice that they are kept alive if there is accepted evidence that such cases are not permanent as many doctors say they are. Some dichotomy here no?

Just why are we in Iraq in a quagmire with most people in Iraq now living in severe degradation, civil war, rape, and bombings? <<<I suppose if Terri is starved to death by sentence of court nobody will ever know > the truth.

The number is growing due to more and more advanced medical practices.
