No one is sure she was brain dead... no one is sure she wasn't either... but if someone else had control of my daughter's life and decided to end it out of nowhere... i'd be pretty sad and hurt pretty badly

Apart from thinking of letting she starved to die is cruel, no one knows if she didn't feel a thing.

Actually, both sides (her husband and her family) have agreed to perform an autopsy to know how much her brain was functioning.

So, once again, nobody knows if she felt something or not.
She might be "dead."
She might be "alive."

blah she was kept alive for 15 years she had to die sometime even her husband wanted her to be killed but I dont think he would of been all for the no food method.

you know someone  paid someone 50k (50,000) and a promise of 250k if they killed the husband =/

Wow thats really sad. But i dought it is painful if the doctors say it isnt

No they were sure she was.  Read up on one of my previous posts.  The part of her brain that controls her and who she is was replaced with brain fluid, by her body.  There is no way she could ever get better.  The state she was in is not like coma, where you might just randomly wake up at any moment.  Terri Schiavo was dead 10 years ago, its just now that her body stopped working. 

i agree with Pr0xY.
I prefer being dead that in a coma for 5 years or less

I genuinely support a person's right to die. It's just a shame that it took so long. But i think Terri had no hope of ever recovering from her state. I mean, we're talking about a severly brain damaged person whose been just lying there for 15 years. The only reason this has got so much media attention is because of the family feud that ensued and the fact that the ultra-conservative right have used it as way to push their "pro-life" agenda to the public.
