What an atrocity this was! This was the true case of a woman being deliberately starved and dehydrated to death because she was disabled. Just an abomination! How sad it is that this could have ever been allowed to happen. I know the word "Nazi" is overused these days (and usually used to falsely slander people too), but this case truly was just like something that would have happened in Nazi Germany. That word truly fits what went on in this case. I remember how outraged I was when this happened and how outraged I was by the lack of outrage by some. One could not get away with deliberately starving and dehydrating an animal to death. One would be charged with cruelty to animals if this were done to a dog or a cat or any other animal. Yet this was allowed to be deliberately done to an innocent woman simply because she was disabled. I also thought of all those anti-death-penalty activists when this was going on and how they are always so willing to protest and stand up for the lives of convicted murderers. Yet most of those people were nowhere to be found when it came to standing up for the life of this innocent disabled woman. What twisted priorities some have! If only she had been a convicted murderer instead of an innocent disabled woman all those anti-death-penalty activists would have been there to defend her life. I have never forgotten this case and never will. So sad that there is such a disregard for human life. This isn't pleasant reading due to the fact that it deals with an absolute atrocity that never should have been allowed to happen and it doesn't have a happy ending. There was no justice for Terri or her family. So, it's definitely not a pleasant book to read but it's an important one. May this never be allowed to happen again.
