Starving Terri

   Posted by: BearyAnn   in Paws to Think About It

5 days with no food or water. This brain damaged woman who has not received any of the prescribed physical theraphy in the 10 years since her collapse, who is not on any form of life support, only a feeding tube, is now slowly dying of thirst and starvation. Not one penny of the lawsuit award for her physical therapy has been used for medical treatment. She is not in a coma, she is aware of her surroundings and responds to stimuli.

Her parents go on national television begging for their daughter to be saved, her husband goes on national television declaring his love and desire to allow to die. Lines are being drawn by all who hear of this case.

I am amazed our legal system is allowing this. It would not allow this to happen to a dog, so why to this woman? And why is there not an investigation into her lack of medical treatment and physical therapy? I realize we do not have all the facts but something is definitely missing in the reports we get.

Ezekial 34:4 You have not taken care of the weak ones, healed the ones that are sick, bandaged the ones that are hurt, brought back the ones that wandered off, or looked for the ones that were lost. Instead, you treated them cruelly.
