In a 'persistent vegetative state', a person DOES NOT respond to stimulus. Terri wouldn't have been labeled as such if she was responding. She was examined many times and all the doctors concluded she was vegetative. Yes she blinks and stuff like that, her reflexes and such were running-- basically the lizard brain-- but that was it. Tests can also be done to check if there is any activity in the the regions of the brain where awareness happens. (hers was largely disintegrated) So yeah, it can be determined. More or less. There's still some scary gray areas, but not as much as you might think.

Do you think that the courts should have kept intervening as they did? Jeb Bush (yes, you guessed it, related to idiot Pres. Bush) even rushed a "Terri Bill/Law/something" through to attempt to protect her.
But was it really protecting her?
Do you think her parents were being selfish and/or cruel to keep her like that?
There was also a battle between the husband and the parents over a malpractice lawsuit that is nuts.

I thought they taught you in about 2d or 3d yr med school how to distance yourself. You apparently didn't do well in that course, and your patients are the better for it.
