No, she wasn't dead. She was alive. The judge thought she was alive too. Your attempt at redefining life and death for others, according to your private philosophy is laughable.

(a) you don't know (b) no one has the right to judge someone else worthy of death because x% of 'y' neurons are missing (or worse, like you, judge them already dead) --- when they obviously are NOT brain dead, and respond to the environment about them.
By your logic, mentally handicapped children born in the same state as Terry (say, x% of 'y' neurons) can be killed. Your thinking on this is similar to the Nazi "life unworthy of life" philosophy. During the Third Reich a minority of medical practitioners and public health officials in positions of authority, following an authorization decreed by Adolf Hitler in August 1939,directly implemented a policy of extermination respecting segments of the population who were diagnosed as suffering from severe mental and/or physical dysfunction.
"[...] who didn't care if her brain tissue was two grades too thin to qualify as pudding."
If her brain tissue was truly this grade, Terri would be long DEAD!
But her brain wasn't, and she wasn't, dead. She was alive. Until she was starved to death. Thanks to the likes of you. This is reality if you can handle it.
We'll never know if this drug, which is surprising physicians, would have helped her. All you do now is cling to your _faith_ that it wouldn't have mattered.
Gore said: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. "
You say: Unless you are claiming that no one hopped on the Internet bandwagon in the 1990's this was clearly before [...] the vast majority of others) joined in.
That he preceded the vast majority doesn't matter... what matters is others preceded him. Technologists, researchers, government officials, and the like. Gore provided political support for funding, and worked with officials from the Reagan administration. But you still have to provide the evidence that the _initiative_ in creating the internet was his.
And talking "hey, look over there": you've assumed I'm American: I'm not.
Second, in 1985 the National Science Foundation agreed to fund a "backbone" network among five supercomputer sites. Academic institutions could connect to the backbone if they organized regional networks of their own; the NSF provided two-year grants to cover the regional networks' startup expenses, after which universities paid their own way. Combined with the communications power of TCP/IP, this NSFNet boosted the number of interconnected computers to critical mass. It displaced ARPANET as the driving force in the development of a worldwide network of interlinked computers.
In this important sense, "the Internet" dates not to 1969 but to the early 1980s. Gore enters the picture a bit later--in 1987, when he supported a drive by universities to expand funding for NSFNet.

Watching too much violent TV and playing too many violent video games takes a toll on children's social and physical development, researchers report.

Another study found that violent video games appear to instill poor attitudes in children when it comes to their own health, while promoting risky behaviors. A third report found that mature-rated video games often include explicit sexual imagery and language content not included on warning labels

Quoting from http://www.fastcompany.com/online/01/frog.html According to Dr. George R. Zug, curator of reptiles and amphibians, the National Museum of Natural History, "Well that's, may I say, bullshit. If a frog had a means of getting out, it certainly would get out. And I cannot imagine that anything dropped in boiling water would not be scalded and die from the injuries."
Professor Doug Melton, Harvard University Biology Department, says, "If you put a frog in boiling water, it won't jump out. It will die. If you put it in cold water, it will jump before it gets hot -- they don't sit still for you."
...
"The change myth assumes a very narrow view of people. If frogs can do it, people definitely can."
What a silly argument! Perhaps the end of that page is addressed to you: It's out there, the proof, but the pornographers and porn-apologists make excuses to keep their power trip. They make excuses so they can continue to watch their sexist, racist filth and they want us to kindly shut up and go away.
I won't go away.
And to apologists, TRY to argue these numbers. You should be warned that I will win.
I am a customer of a software vendor who requires me to call a helpdesk where the staff are trained to locate internal company personnel (who carry pagers, mobiles, etc). I never get direct numbers of internal staff - they always call me back, even if it's a P1/production down incident.
And that's fine with me as long as response time is within contracted limits.
