My opinion on the issue:

She probably has no chance to recover and it's a lost cause to keep her alive in that state. However, there's more to the story.

She had no living will so the issue of keeping or removing the feeding tube lies with the person most responsible for her - her husband. The problem with this mess is that her husband moved on long ago and started another family with another woman. He just never got a divorce from Terri. Why hasn't he gotten a divorce? There has to be a reason... maybe a life insurance policy? Some other kind of fortune? I have no idea, but it just doesn't make sense. He has and wants nothing to do with Terri anymore, yet he keeps fighting the parents over their daughter.

What I think should happen is that custody of Terri should be handed over to the parents and let the parents do what they want with her. If they want to keep her feeding tube connected, let 'em. So what? As long as they cover the costs of care, what's the harm of that? Terri's "husband" should let go - like I said before, he's got nothing to do with her anymore. So why is he so intent on being involved now?
