Did anyone follow the Terry Shiavo case? What is your opinion on the matter?

I'm for euthanasia

It was about a year and a half ago, I remember because my Mother was in ICU November 2005 and had a DNR (from a previous hospitalization due to surgery) that she said she didn't want a feeding tube. She was near coma, not awake at all and couldn't tell her wishes. My brothers and I had to make a decision on whether to put her into hospice or to have the doctors run tests and try to find out what was wrong. She had lost the ability to swallow and was severely dehydrated to the point her organs started shutting down. We never did find out what was wrong with her. She had a condition that required her to take a medication called Tegretol, which can only be taken orally, so we talked her doctors into putting in a feeding tube strictly for the medication. Well, after a day or so she slowly started waking up and needed less and less of the pain meds, because her Tegretol was helping her condition (trigeminal neuralgia) and the day came that my brothers and I had to decide for the hospice, she was lucid enough to try to ask so I asked, "Mom, you need nourishment if you want to live you'll need to be fed through a feeding tube because you can't swallow. Do you want to be fed?" She said, "well yes, that's just common sense!" So they started feeding her through her tube and 2 days later she was removed from ICU and another 2 days I spoon fed her applesauce. She got stronger and stronger and lived happy for 11 months til she passed away in her sleep from a heart attack this past September. The entire time we were dealing with the doctors/nurses/social workers/hospice/etc it was so frustrating because they were trying their hardest to convince us that the best for my mother would be to place her into hospice and they could make her comfortable to pass. I kept thinking about Terri because it was just a half year or so after that happened. I think what they did to Terri was WRONG.
