Affidavit on Terri's Condition and Capabilities

  1. Alan, you are right about the conservative-libertarian bent in favor of respecting law and not encouraging overreaching centralized power. I haven't gone overboard trying to make that argument.

    I'm just dealing with simple right and wrong and I feel what's happening is wrong. My understanding is that there is debate over whether she has any cerebral cortex remaining. That is one of the issues that I have heard disputed more than once. It seems that the tests required to clear that point up have not yet been performed (PET scan and MRI.

    In the law, we talk a lot about rebuttable presumptions. I think Terri should have the strongest possible rebuttable presumption in favor of protecting her life. The fact that the professional community is not unanimous about her status should give pause to anyone considering her case.
