If there's one thing that makes me extremely angry, it's the constant
comparing of Terri Schiavo with terminally ill patients.  Terri is(was)
not terminally ill.  She is(was) perfectly healthy.  She is(was) not
on life support.  She does not even meet the medical definition of
Permanent Vegetative State.  But her husbands claim that she is 
in a PVS is repeated as fact like a mantra.
