The controversy was about the laws around the right to death. Since she didn't have a living will, it is the hospital's responsibility to keep her alive no matter what anybody says. It doesn't matter what scientists say. As a matter of fact, I never heard a scientist say anything about this. Scientists didn't care. It was about how the law functions. When you go into a coma, and there is no living will, it is the governments responsibility to keep you alive. They should have divorced the guy from his wife and let him run off with his girlfriend. That was the real reason he wanted her off the support, he couldn't divorce her in a coma and he wanted to get married to someone else and move on. Killing someone just to divorce them is not acceptable in any other situation, the only reason people took his side is because the crazy conservatives and right-wing people took Terry's side and made the whole thing a big mess. They should have let the guy leave his wife, go off and marry his girlfriend, give custody of the woman to her parents, and everything turns out hunky dory. The end.
