Teri Schiavo
Not to beat a dead horse (too much), but before they were saying that this woman was a vegetable, now they're saying she's functioning at a low level, able to breathe and swallow on her own and responsive to familiar faces.
Congress wants her to come to the Hill as well.
This all seems pretty fucked up from my point of view. I thought she was in a coma. Her parents are talking about keeping her alive for 30-40 years on feeding tubes. But she's not in a coma. She has the brain power of an 11-12 month-old. So, you have to question it a little differently I think. What would happen if an infant required a feeding tube?
