Oprah is covering Terri's story today. Her site also has a discussion thread on the topic. Check it out. It's a real shame the misconceptions some have about Terri. Most common, people who haven't read the case think that she does have a living will and that she is in a coma and on a ventilator. If you're reading this and are not familiar with the case, I encourage you to visit Terri's Fight.org and read more. She is a disabled woman who has been denied rehabilitation for years by her guardian/husband and cannot feed herself. As a result, she is fed by a feeding tube. She is NOT in a coma, she is NOT on a ventilator and she, unfortunately, does not have any sort of living will or other document stating her wishes.
